Removing the Old Car Radio
- Engage the parking brake and disconnect the battery's negative cable to avoid shorts.
- Trim Removal：Carefully use a panel tool to take off the trim around the radio, keeping screws and pieces safe. Remove trim from bottom to top if needed.
- Radio Uninstallation：Unscrew or use a removal key for models without screws. Disconnect the wiring harness and antenna by pressing clips and gently pulling apart.
Prepare the New Car Radio
- Mounting Kit：Install any necessary brackets or sleeves from the mounting kit to mount the new radio to the dashboard.
- Wiring Harness：Match the wires from the car harness to the wiring harness of the new stereo. Connect the wires from the new radio to the harness using color coding, each harness connector is unique so it is easy to figure out which ones go together.
Install the New Car Radio
- Securing the radio： Slide the car radio into the mounting sleeve or bracket. Make sure it clicks into place and secure with screws if needed.
- Reinstall the trim：Snap the trim panel back into place, making sure it is flush.
Test the New Car Radio
- Reconnect the battery：Reconnect the negative terminal.
- Power On：Test all functions (power, speakers, Bluetooth, etc.). Verify steering wheel controls (if applicable; interface module may be required).
Final Rendering
- Organize Wires： Tuck excess wires neatly behind the radio to prevent interference.
- Test Trial：Try out your new car radio. Power on the car again and try out the car radio and its settings to make sure everything works.
