Let's see how to remove the trim from the dashboard of a Volkswagen Passat. Use a plastic lever as shown in the video: pry at the plastic (located under the instrument cluster) until it detaches from the dashboard.

Be careful not to break it or scratch the dashboard. After removing the dashboard trims, take out the plastic clips; disassemble the pieces of the instrument cluster or remove the original radio.

After finishing the maintenance on the dashboard, refit the trims that were removed earlier. Finally, check the fitted pieces.
