How to remove the radio from a 2017 Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage QL, MK 4 - Years 2016-2022
Part: Car stereo

Let's see how to disassemble the car radio from a 2017 Kia Sportage: we will need a screwdriver, a plastic spatula, and a non-serrated blade. The first thing to remove is the central console, where the gear lever is located: it is not necessary to remove it completely, just loosen it a bit, in order to create space to move the dashboard trim, then with the plastic spatula, we remove the side cover of the dashboard, where we find a screw to remove; once this is removed, we lever with the butter knife to remove the dashboard trim, which now comes off easily, except for the connectors in the central part of the dashboard. Now we have made two screws visible, so we can remove the frame containing the screen and the air vents. We lever with the plastic spatula and remove the entire block of vents. Now we have four screws to remove and the device comes off, after disconnecting the electrical connectors and the antenna on the back.
