Disassembling the standard car radio is straightforward but requires some caution when removing the plastic parts that are secured with clips: it is advisable to use a plastic lever. Start by removing the cigarette lighter socket located just behind the gear lever and unscrew the screws underneath.

Then remove the trim around the central console display and the display itself, disconnecting the relevant connectors. Complete the disassembly by removing the remaining fixing screws of the central console, previously hidden by the display, and take out the entire console with the button panel.

Finally, it is possible to disassemble and extract the radio unit.
