Instructions for Removing the Car Radio

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Car stereo

To remove the original car radio, you need to take off the trim mouldings on the sides of the centre console, which are aluminium-coloured. To do this, open the glove compartment on the passenger side to access the fixing screws. On the driver's side, first disconnect the plastic cover located just below the steering column. In addition to the side screws securing the mouldings, you must also unscrew those under the speedometer to lift it slightly and allow for the removal of the mouldings. At this point, unscrew the fixing screws of the car radio, pull it out from its slot, and disconnect the plugs to complete the removal.
