After trawling for ages looking for how to guides to do this i couldnt really find a proper one. So ill write a basic how to.
What Youll Need:
2 flathead screwdrivers,
A paper clip
A plastic thingy (see photo)
Step 1.
Remove centre vents, a lot has been written about this so i wont go into too much detail but the easiest way i think is to shine a torch into the vent to have a good look, then using the paper clip hook down the catch and pull the unit out about 5mm so it doesnt go back, then put a bit of card down so it doesnt slip back, repeat on the other side then pull the whole vent out.
Step 2.
Remove the radio, there are two screws that is it. Then pull it out a bit more and release the wiring block on the left by the catch, and then the ariel on the left. Should be pretty simple and come out.
Step 3.
Remove the passenger vent. There are two phillips screws for this, one is in the cup holder area so just open the cup holder, close the sprung bit and undo that screw. Then use your plastic thingy to pry off the screw cap at the top and undo that one too. The unit should come out with a little teasing.
Step 4.
Back to where the radio was, There are 2 more screws there to undo.
Step 5.
Behind the passenger vent if you put your hand in is a clip thingy, see photo below. the top needs to be pushed together and then up to get it out. The ring sits behind it so dont let that drop away. Its the nearest clip to the vent if that makes any sense.
Step 6.
Prise off the whole dash, carefully. It should come off nicely
Step 7.
Install new dash, and reverse!
