Using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the bodywork, pry at the sides of the display panel to release the plastic clips and remove it. Still using a plastic tool, pry at the sides of the console panel, then remove it to access the radio retaining screws.

Unscrew the screws from the radio fascia to completely slide the radio out of its housing.

Carefully remove the radio by lifting it to disconnect the connectors at the back. Install the new radio by reversing the steps, ensuring correct cable positioning.
