Steps
1.
Using your Bojo tool, gently prise the plastic trim off towards you (this holds the 4 wheel drive button)
As you can see on this picture, the plastic trim comes out on pop clips directly out towards you
Do the same again on the other side of the dash (the plastic trim that holds the hazard button)
You shall now see two 10mm bolts on the passenger side
And two 10mm bots on the drivers side
Once you have undone the above bolts, the stereo simply slides out and unplugs.
