Two Methods to Remove the Car Radio

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Car stereo

There are two methods to replace the car radio system: the first involves specific clips, the second a simple screwdriver. The latter method is riskier and could damage the plastic edges housing the system. First method: insert the two clips into the designated holes, then pull to remove the lower part of the radio. This will provide access to a hole to facilitate the removal of the upper part of the system, the information display. Using the hole, pull this part to completely remove every component of the car radio. Second method: wedge the screwdriver by levering in the top right of the information panel, then push to detach the component directly, without necessarily having to remove the underlying piece. In both methods, take care with the wiring located in the hidden part of the radio, as it is essential for both power and information transmission to the car speakers.
