Remove the protective mat from the glove compartment located at the centre of the dashboard, just above the air vents of the central console; unscrew the underlying screws and, using a plastic lever, detach the glove compartment and the air vents by disconnecting the connector from the hazard switch.

Then unscrew the fixing screws and detach the plastic trim to access the radio's fixing screws, allowing it to be removed from its position by pulling it forward and disconnecting the relevant connectors from the back.

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. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
