2. Remove the panels from the dash. You can do this by following the instructions found in your car’s manual.
3. Remove the screws and bolt at the corners of the double DIN head unit with the Phillips-head screwdriver or socket and driver. There are some cars that need some specialized extraction tools. For those car brands that like Mazda, Audi, and Ford, use the tools into the slots of the unit’s face. Pull the unit from the dock good enough to reach the cable antenna and wiring connected to the back of the stereo unit.
4. Remove the wirings that are connected to the outlets at the back of the unit. The wirings may have release mechanisms that must be engaged prior to unplugging the cables. Check out the repair manual for any specific instructions before you pull the cable connectors from the outlets on the rear panel of the unit.
