Replacing the radio is very simple, but take care to protect the edges of the dashboard around the radio during the removal of the trim surrounding it. It is advisable to apply masking tape around the trim, possibly in multiple layers, and then use a plastic lever to gently detach the trim around the radio.

At this point, access the four mounting screws located at each corner of the radio, unscrew them, and extract the radio by disconnecting the relevant connectors.

Proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one.
