First, put the gear lever in the position furthest from the dashboard to create maximum workspace. On either side of the car radio, there are two small panels for extraction.

Press each one and pull them outwards with both hands to extract the car radio from its housing. At this point, gently disconnect the various connectors, using the levers present on them when necessary.

To refit, ensure that the two levers used previously for extraction are positioned outwards. Introduce the car radio back into its housing and push the levers into their position.
