Using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the body, pry on the dashboard air vent and remove it from its housing. Remove the lower glove compartment and unscrew the securing screws of the radio console.

Remove the car radio and disconnect all the electrical wiring connectors. Reconnect the connectors to the new car radio and place it back in the compartment, being careful not to pinch the wires.

Reinstall the dashboard screws, reattach the air vent, and reposition the glove compartment. Turn on the radio and tune to a station to verify proper operation.
