How to change the radio on a Volkswagen Transporter T5

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Car stereo

Let's see how to replace an old Volkswagen radio with an Android radio: we start by removing the instrument panel frame, using a plastic spatula; then we remove the air vents, along with the frame surrounding the radio. Now we insert the appropriate keys to remove the Volkswagen radio: we can find them on Amazon with the code B0CRR14ML9 for 4.89 euros for a kit of 4, free delivery for Prime customers. We remove the radio, disconnect the electrical connectors and the antenna. We do not provide purchasing recommendations for the new device, as there is a wide variety available on the market, for all tastes and budgets. However, it will be necessary to connect the canbus, connect the wires and antenna, the FM adapter, the rear camera connector, and the cooling fan. We pass the USB cable through the glove compartment; we attach the GPS plate to a metal part and connect the GPS, USB, and FM adapter to the stereo. We connect the electrical wires and immediately perform a test to check if everything is functioning properly. We reassemble the frame with the air vents and the instrument panel frame.
