To remove the original car radio, first extract the ashtray and unscrew the screws securing the climate control buttons: once the screws are removed, pull the controls forward (it is advisable to disconnect the connectors and remove the controls to facilitate the subsequent disassembly operations).

At this point, unscrew the screws securing the frame around the car radio and detach it along with the air vents: now you can unscrew the four screws securing the car radio (located at each corner) and pull it out of its housing, disconnecting the connectors attached to it.
