Removing the factory car radio is important if you want to install a better, newer one or if the current one is malfunctioning. It is clipped in place, and you will need very thin screwdrivers to remove it. There are "holes" in front; push inside them until you hear the release click.

Once the clips are unlocked, pull towards yourself with force. After extracting the car radio, you will see the connected cables: antenna, front and rear speakers, and power supply, which you must remember exactly for the installation of the new car radio.
