There's 2 screws behind the ash tray, And 2 on each side around near the top of that other unit that's mounted in there.

Then just pull it its on clips!

i was just reading the technical resources thing regarding this, do you really have to take the radio out to get the centre oval shaped dash part out?? i was looking at it yesterday and it looks like it should come out around the radio/heater dials part??

has it been done??
