Good morning and welcome back to Scegliauto.com! Today's goal is to replace the faulty radio in our Volkswagen Polo with a more modern unit. Start by using a flathead screwdriver to pry off and remove the plastic trim surrounding the radio.

Next, using a Torx screwdriver, unscrew the screws that secure the original radio to the dashboard. Once all screws are removed, you can take out the radio from its housing and disconnect the rear connectors.

By doing this, you will have successfully removed the old radio. To install the new radio, simply follow the reverse of this guide using the new unit, and you will have completed the replacement process!
