   How would you go about removing the radio as im wanting to take out the centre console . . . I have all the torx screws out and it seems ready for coming out but the radios stopping out, id presume you could pull it out a fair way to undo the connections behind it which would help ?

   I had trouble using the bent 'U' shaped things. Make sure you disconnect the heater knob, as it will get stuck on that, other then that it comes out quite easily.
