Step 5: Opening up the Radio
Remove the three screws on the back of the radio and slide the lower part back
until it comes off. Disconnect the connecting strip.
Step 6: Assembling the PCB
Mount the existing strips and the two antennas on the new circuit board. Slide
the new strips through the slot where the original strips were. Screw on the
new (additional) circuit board.
Step 7: Disconnecting the Video Cable
Remove the bracket next to the vent to make room for the passageof the two
cables that are clicked onto the circuit board. Position the two antennas as
well.
Step 8: Reassembling the Radio

Remove the three screws on the back of the radio and slide the lower part back
until it comes off .
Disconnect the connecting strip.
Step 6. Assemble the PCB (Screws)
Mount the existing strips and the two antennas on the new circuit board. This
can only be done in 1 way. Slide the new strips through the slot where the
original strips were.
Screw on the new (additional) circuit board.
Step 7. Disconnect the video cable (plugs)
Remove the bracket next to the vent to make room for the passage of the two cables that are clicked onto the circuit board. Position the two antennas as well.
Step 7. Reassemble the radio (screws)
