If you have any doubts about your ability to remove the radio from the dashboard cleanly, without scuffing the surrounding trim or worse, we strongly advise you to visit a specialist radio installer or contact one of the many good mobile specialists. This advice is true for any vehicle, but damage to higher value cars can be prohibitively expensive to put right.

Pull the radio from the dashboard to read the numbers from its chassis - this will be on a printed label or engraved on the metal case. Extraction 'keys' (often the type shown here) are required to remove the radio. Becker units fitted to Ferrari have horizontal slots along the lower edge into which the keys are inserted until they 'click', releasing the internal clamps and allowing the unit to be withdrawn. Don't be tempted to remove the radio any other way, or to force it, as you may damage the surrounding dash trim. The keys make it easy - find them in motoring stores or online.
