Remove the radio from the Volkswagen Polo if it is damaged or if you want to change it. Use a plastic lever to remove the radio trim (without damaging the radio or the trim). Once the stereo is free from constraints, use a screwdriver to unscrew the securing screws on either side.

Pull out the stereo by hand and disconnect the cables (power and antenna). Install the new radio, tighten the securing screws.

Refit the trim pieces above the centre console. Turn on the new stereo and check its functionality.
