Remove the old car radio, then take out the screws from the dashboard panel that needs to be replaced with a new one suitable for housing the new radio. Install the removable bracket of the new radio and secure it by pressing the metal tabs outward.

Adjust the radio's retaining springs to perfectly align with the new fascia. Connect the extensions provided with the new radio kit to the original connectors and wire the radio according to the instructions included with the kit. Connect all the new connectors to the back of the radio that you will position in the new housing, taking care not to pinch any wires.

Turn on the radio and check the proper functioning of all the new features offered.
