When installed, each auto-tape recorder is placed in a special plastic or metal casing. And when dismantling an old car radio, you need to start by removing the tape recorder from this hard case. It is necessary to carefully pull the audio system out of the casing so as not to damage the wiring, and carefully disconnect all connectors from the power supply. All manipulations with the removal of the car radio must be carried out with the engine turned off and the power supply disconnected.
Using the factory tool, you need to effortlessly unscrew all the contacts and terminals from the tape recorder. Never pull the plugs out of the connectors so as not to break them. All sockets on the back of the car radio must be disconnected very carefully.
