Using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the bodywork, lever out the air vent from the dashboard and remove it from its housing. Remove the lower panel of the car radio and unscrew the securing screws of the radio console. Remove the car radio and disconnect all electrical wiring connectors. Reconnect the connectors to the new car radio and place it back into the compartment, taking care not to pinch the cables. Refit the dashboard screws, reattach the air vent, and reposition the glove compartment. Turn on the radio and tune into a station to check its proper functioning.
