Installing an aftermarket car radio is quite straightforward, especially since you can purchase the wiring and fitting kit along with the radio; start by disconnecting the battery, then detach the central console trim that includes the air vents; unscrew the mounting screws of the radio, pull it out from its housing, and disconnect the connectors; prepare the fitting wiring, pass the microphone for the hands-free kit from behind the instrument cluster by first removing the trim, and complete the installation by inserting the fitting kit and the radio.
