Remove the screws securing the knee pad on the driver's side to slightly move it away from its position (this is necessary to allow the removal of the central trim); detach the trim present in the centre of the dashboard using a plastic lever. Unscrew the screws securing the air vents and remove the cover grille of the central speaker by taking out the two screws underneath: then detach the air vents along with the frame and the hazard light buttons.

At this point, you can unscrew the screws securing the car radio and pull it out of its position by disconnecting the connectors.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
