Do you want to replace the factory radio or install a satellite navigation system? Here’s how to do it in a few steps. First, open the glove compartment, remove the indicated plastic by pulling it towards you, unscrew the 2 cross-head screws at the top of the radio, and simply pull it out. Before removing the radio, disconnect the power and antenna cables found at the back.
