Remove the 6.5" display/stereo?

Hi,

Does anyone have pictures/guide on how to remove the stereo? This is the closest I can find:

I have removed the outer plastic (2 in the link above), but after removing the 2 screws at the bottom of (1), unsure if there's anything else holding (1) or do I just pull it out?

I've removed mine a couple times. You can just pull the outer plastic off. It's kind of just held in by friction at the top.

Getting #1 off is a bit of a pain as you need to remove the top vent on the dash and there is a clip that you need to press down on. I have it circled in red, just get a big flat head screwdriver and push down on it, it will take a few tries until you get it. While pushing down at the same time pull out on #1. Before you do that there are two screws towards the bottom of #1, #6 points to the location of one of the screws and the other is on the opposite side.

Cool thank you for the photos, had a feeling there's something up the top that needed to be removed. I'll give it a go over the weekend
