If you need to remove your factory car radio for repairs or simply want to replace it with a better-performing one, follow the images below to understand where and how to intervene. If you have them, take the original tools or use very thin Allen keys.

Insert the tools into the four small holes on the sides of the radio’s trim. With this operation, you should be able to unlock the clips and then carefully extract the radio.

Initially, try to gently pry with a screwdriver, then gradually use your hands. Once the radio is out, disconnect the antenna cable and the power and speaker connectors.

Car model: Opel Astra Series G.
