If you want to upgrade the head unit yourself, please follow the installation instruction from the dealer if you have one. But, if you are a green hand, you are not recommended to do that.

The following are the upgrade steps of a VW Passat B6 radio for your reference.

Attentions:Please disconnect the negative cable on the vehicle battery to ensure security.Please prepare tools for the upgrade. A lever and a screwdriver are needed.Please protect the front seats and trim panel during upgrade.

Step1: remove the trim panel which is covering the radio. Insert a lever into the gaps around the trim panel as the picture shows. Then, pry for several times until you can loosen it from the dashboard.

Step2: remove the radio. You can see 4 screws which are fixing the radio in the dash in the picture. Unscrew them with a screwdriver and keep them in a box. Then, take the unit out of the dash and disconnect the wiring harness at the back of it. Please remove the wiring harness carefully.

Step3: install the new unit. Connect the new unit to the original wiring harness. If you need a wiring harness adapter, connect the adapter to the original wiring harness first, then, to the new unit. Besides the wiring harness, the installations of the antennas should be paid attention to, too. You should install the antennas in the right positions correctly so that they can work well.

Step4: Test the new unit. After connection, test the functions in the new unit to see if everything’s good. At the first time you operate the unit, please refer to the user manual. If everything’s good, you can install the trim panel back to its original place.
