To remove the car radio, first dismantle the panel containing the controls and air conditioning vents. Beneath the dark and shiny part of the centre console, there is a small panel secured by two screws.

Unscrew the respective screws and remove the panel. Next, gently remove the upper part of the centre console, taking care to disconnect the connector, and gain access to the car radio, which is secured by two additional screws.

Unscrew the screws and pull the car radio towards you, disconnecting all connectors. For reassembly, follow the reverse procedure.
