How to Remove the Radio on Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Car stereo

How do you remove the radio from a Volkswagen Passat? Let's look at removing the old radio and installing the new one. Insert the keys into the holes on the plastic trim of the stereo, pull the stereo towards you as shown in the video, and carefully extract the radio while being mindful of the various wiring (disconnect the power connectors and the antenna cable). Install the original radio or a generic brand: connect the operating electrical connectors, then slide it into the centre console until it locks. Turn on the radio and check its operation.
