How to Replace the Radio in a Toyota RAV4?

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Car stereo

To replace the radio in a Toyota RAV4, use a tool to pry off the trim located above the radio and along the passenger side of the dashboard. Once this trim is removed, you can detach the plastic covers surrounding the air vents next to the radio. This will expose the screws, which can then be fully unscrewed; additionally, by disconnecting the connectors at the back of the unit, you can remove the old radio and connect the new one. Secure it with the appropriate screws and cover everything with the corresponding plastic pieces.
