piece of cake really.

unscrew the gearknob.
pull gently on the gear gaitor surround and unclip the bottom clips of the panel surrounding the radio
disconnect the cig lighter and ashtray wiring
the top part of the panel is held in with 2 pins that sit into holes in the dash. be very careful handling the panel as they're delicate.
The radio is held in by brackets, you can remove the bracket by removing the 2 philips head screws on either side of the radio .
