How to remove Travel FX Radio?

[b9y]

Hey guys, I'm trying to find how to remove the Travel FX radio from my 2010 1.8tdci. I can't find any info, only that apparently you only need a screwdriver? Does anyone have any advice on how I can do this? 

Thanks!

The two triangular pieces either side of the radio pop out to reveal screws.  The ashtray/cubby under the climate panel pops out to reveal screws.  The whole front fascia comes away and then there are 4 screws holding the radio in.

You're better off with a trim tool to pop the plastics out as a screwdriver is likely to cause damage.

Gotcha thanks! Do you know what specific tools to buy? Are they just called trim tools?

Yeah, you can sometimes fit a flat-blade across the Torx slots if the screws aren't too tight but buying the correct tool is obviously better!  A selection of Torx sizes is often handy for modern cars anyway. 

As for the trim tools, they are just called trim tools, as in Stoneys link.
