ok, Radio removal
i have done the search and most links want to send me to the Lucid site which does not appear to work anymore.
so i attacked the tech faq and the best i can find is, basicly pull off the fascia complete with the door applying some reasonable force, perhaps just springing the clips at the top of the fascia above the vents

can somebody give me a 'yes thats about it' or link me to a more detailed description before i trash the car!!!
thanks in advance

 

That sounds about right to me

 

If you've got the newer model with the larger centre console then you will need to lift out the console lid. Fingers under the pad at the back and work your way forwards.
No need to take all the way but it does make getting the bottom of the radio facia out a lot easier.

cheers chaps,
1 week into ownership and its coming apart already!

its a 05, so i guess i will have to lift the centre console as well

whats with the lucid site it looked like it could have been a useful site, any new links?

 

Just changed my HU. Was really worried about the force needed to pull both centre console and the radio door but they came away ok. They're quite sturdy, but be careful not to bend the little tabs. Easiest radio swap I've ever done.

 

U can see also in this video how to remove the H.U.
