These keys can be ordered at Audi dealership or auto parts stores. Once the old radio has been removed, it can easily be replaced with a new one.

Step 2: Place each release key on either side of the radio console and pull them out slowly to unlock the radio console.

Step 3: Gently use your hands to pull the radio out of the console. Unplug the antenna and adapter wires before pulling the radio completely out.

Step 4: Purchase a new radio. If you want to purchase the same type of radio, you will need to order it from an Audi dealership. You can order other radios from your local auto parts store. If you aren't sure what types will fit in your Audi, ask a store employee to help you find the right one.

Step 5: Place the new radio close to the console and plug the adapter wire and antenna wires back into it. Push the radio back in the console and secure it in place. Turn the radio on the make sure it is working properly.
