1. remove the non slip mat.



2. Remove the plastic tray from the same area, (this is where you need the slot head or paper scraper)





3. Unclip the gear knob gaiter and move out the way.



4. Undo the two screws that are holding the fascia on, there is one either side (this is where you need the cross head screwdriver).



5. gently pull at the fascia from the bottom and start working your way around, you may need to pull slightly harder in some places.











6. You will have to move the gear knob gaiter and then remove the fascia





7. To gain access to all the bolts you will need to open the covers at the bottom of the air vents, they just unclip and swing out.







8. Next you need to undo the 4 bolts that hold the controls on, (you will need the 10mm socket for this).



9. Removing the control panel, you need to unplug the wires from the back of panel.

Trim level depending of course there should 1 top left & right one half way down on the right & one bottom right.





10. Remove the head unit from undo the two bolts at the top of the unit, (you will need the 10mm socket again)



Once you have done that pull the unit out and disconnect the wire and Arial.



To remove the plug on the back you need to push the tab and pull back the leaver.







That's it the head unit is out.
