How to Remove the Radio from a Jeep Compass

Model: Jeep Compass MK 1, MK 49 - Years 2006-2016
Part: Car stereo

Need advice on how to remove the radio from your Jeep? You're in the right place. Park the car with the handbrake on in a location that does not obstruct anyone. Start by removing the cover at the base of the gear lever, using a lever. Inside the opened compartment, you will find two screws to unscrew; after removing them and keeping them safe, detach this plastic piece as well. Now you need to remove the part of the dashboard under the windscreen, so you can access the panel that would otherwise be blocked. Pull the rear part upwards first and slide it out, unscrew the two screws found underneath. Pull towards you the plastic grille. Finally, access the radio, secured only by 4 screws. Proceed with the replacement with the new part. Reassemble everything in reverse order.
