- 1). Pull the hood release lever located on the right side of the steering wheel, under the driver's side dashboard. Move to the front of the Hyundai and lift the hood. Loosen the bolt on the negative battery cable with the wrench. Remove the cable from the battery and set it aside. Return to the Hyundai's passenger cabin.
- 2). Pull the ashtray completely from the Hyundai's dashboard. Remove the two screws behind the ashtray slot with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
- 3). Grab the bottom of the main dash panel that surrounds the stereo and climate controls and pull it away from the Hyundai's dashboard. Set the panel aside.

Unplug the antenna cable lead from the lower-right corner of the factory unit and set the stereo aside.
