How to remove the stereo step by step:
Start by prising off the trim around the heater controls. These are on pressure clips.
The console should look like this.
Now locate the air vents and if you shine a torch or look carefully you should see a clip in each top left and top right corner inside the air vent. Use the flat head screwdriver to nudge these clips inwards to release the air vents.
You now have access to the 4 torx screws holding the stereo in place. Undo these to release the stereo forward.
Remove radio and disconnect aerial and ISO wiring plugs from back.
