Learn how to easily replace the radio in a Volkswagen Polo 6R: this radio costs around £140 on Amazon, with free delivery. To remove the radio, first take off the trim by prying it with a plastic spatula.

Once the trim is removed, you'll see that the radio is held in place by 4 Torx screws, which you will need to unscrew. Now disconnect all the wiring from the old radio and reconnect the new one. Remember that the connectors should always make a "click" to be inserted correctly.

Refit the screws and also replace the trim. Job done.
