Removing Facia's

[neil_1821]

Looking to remove the facia trim around the cup holder/hazard warning button and rear heated screen button as it's been cut away to install a navman and that's coming out because it's horrible

Does it just pop out? Or do i have to remove the headunit to gain access to screws to get it out? If so how exactly do you go about removing the headunit, and can you get a radio code if it's not in any of the handbooks?

Also is there anyway the middle vents come out? As the bracket sits in there too.

Don't want to go pulling at things incase i break them

I've looked at this guide but not sure if i have to do all of that

Its as per guide

you have to take out the head unit and there are 2 torx screws behind it, you also have to take out the ashtray with the cigarette lighter thats held in by 1 screw at the top and you have to pull out the power from the lighter, once you pull out the ashtray there are 2 screws at the back in the facia then the whole theing pops off around it i sprayed my red when i had it off

ah bugger Not what i wanted to hear

Have to look for the radio code then and see if i can get the removal tools

you can get the removal tools off fleabay but i have seen some talk on here about using a cut up credit card or something, have a search
