The first task is to remove the glove compartment located in the centre of the dashboard, just above the car radio (it is simply clipped in, use a lever to detach it); then unscrew the fixing screws of the plastic trim around the car radio and the climate control buttons, followed by the screws securing the car radio itself at the four corners; then pull the car radio forward and disconnect the relevant connectors.

It is advisable to check for any activation code before disconnecting the connectors.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
