Hi mate its quite simple really. The silver plastic cover is just clipped in i find if you open the cup holder you can get your fingers to it but it does take quite a good hold so take your time when working with it after that its just 6 big screws on the head unit take them out and the whole thing will be loos. Hope this helps

Yep, if you start in the corner by the cup holder, I actually took it out, only two screws then it needs to be eased over the surround, but it will come out. Then slowly and gently work round the plastic surround levering it out, two small screwdrivers should help. Then its just held on the dashbord using a double din bracket held in with upto 6 screws in it (depending on how many times it's been out and if any have been dropped lol!)
