How to remove the stereo step by step:
Start by un-clipping the gear gator surround and lifting this up, then remove the black cover at the back of the centre console watching you don’t loose the silver knob on the top (it pops off!).
Now remove the two screws in here.
Remove the two screws in the cup holder.
Now remove using your torx screwdriver set the two screws on each side of the main silver pillars
Now lift up the centre console and shuffle the silver pillars down and out from under the top dash.
This should now allow you to remove the screws to take the original radio out (Red circles)
Like so…
Remove radio and disconnect aerial and ISO wiring plugs from back.
