remove radio
remove top set of switches: hazards, rear screen heater, rear washer (if touring)
remove three heater slider knobs
pop off the panel behind the sliders
remove four screws
you can now remove the centre panel by unscrewing the two small screws held at an angle behind the opening where the switches were, plus the 2 screws accessed from under the dash where it meets the centre console above the ash tray.

Easy when you know how, anyone got a pic to post up?
