Hi. You need to remove radio to expose 2 screws holding the big oval panel in place. After the screws are out the panel clips in place. Cheers MD

The radio comes out first, then the heater controls. Then the oval facia.

Hi. If its a factory radio the front of the radio is fixed to the rest of the unit. If it is an aftermarket radio it will be mounted in a sleeve that will stop access to the screws. Either way the radio will need to be removed. Cheers MD

yes there are 4 screws that hold the heater switches to the oval surround which tells me the the whole oval panel must be uncliped to get to the screws
