Car Radio Removal Instructions

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Car stereo

Removing the original car radio does not require special tools but demands precision in removing the surrounding trim: use a plastic lever to detach the central console trim covering the car radio and climate controls; then move to the trim directly around the car radio and unscrew the fixing screws located at the four corners. Once the screws are removed, pull the car radio forward and disconnect the relevant plugs (ensure you have any activation codes before disconnecting).
