There used to be one on the other side but I don't remember exactly where it was. I'm sure with a bit of searching you'll be able to find one. Its fairly easy though. First, you need to remove your top dash tray, on some models its clipped in and on some its apparently screwed on. Once you've removed the dash tray then you will have 2 screws that you need to undo. You then need to remove the heated seat buttons etc underneath your stereo. If you just simply tug on that section it normally pulls out easily. You'll then have access to the rest of the screws to remove everything else. Its all a big massive bracket that holds the heater controls and stereo etc so be careful. You may want to put tape on your dash as well so you don't scratch it.

Hope that helps mate. Just a quick guide but better than nothing Wink

No worries mate. Just make sure you mask the dash up as it scratches very easily.

yep will do , but its for that very reason i want to pull it apart i'm thinking of painting the non black parts , in my case the parts that give off a very dark browny bronze colour, thinking of going totally radical maybe a metalic red colour or something or keep it toned down but hide the scratches and go black or charcoal... still deciding

Also need to tidy up my radio installation a bit (the mounting bracket sits loose in th console so want to sort that out that it sits flush and fastened down the way it should be.

I would go for a nice metallic colour but with a good coat of lacquer as well to toughen it up a bit.
