Getting to the OBC is not that easy.

If you read through this it will give you an idea of what is involved.

I remember doing mine by dropping the glove box and taking out the plastic in the right side and also taking out stereo and cage. This have enough room to get my hands behind the dash and fiddle out the old and slide in the new without dismantling lots of parts.
