How to replace the radio in the VW Golf 6

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Car stereo

Replacing the radio of the Volkswagen Golf model 6 is a simple and quick operation that can be done independently. We start the replacement by removing the radio cover, using a plastic tool as a lever. Then, we remove the four screws that secure the radio and take it out. After disconnecting the antenna wire and the radio connector, we connect them to the new radio and secure everything with the screws. We also mount the cover and proceed with programming the settings on the new radio. If the new radio does not work, it may be necessary to enter the unlock PIN.
