The plastic tray at the top (above the air con) will pull up and towards you, its a bit of a nack to do it but will come off, unless you have a sat nav unit there, in which case im not sure.

Then the bottom piece (with the trc/heated seat buttons) will pull towards you and unlip. This will now leave four bolts on show, two at the top and two at the bottom. Remove these and the aircon and radio will all come out as one!

Think thats right?!?!!?

Jason :P
