Default Help required: Remove stereo facia

Hi guys, my brother just a bought a TDCI Mondeo with the sony 6 disc and was wondering where the torx screws are located to remove the stereo fascia. We found the ones behind the triangular plastic on either side of the stereo but are there any other ones that need to be removed as the fascia won't budge when these 2 are removed. Any help is very much appreciated.

you need to remove the centre console fascia. It just pops up, an easy place to start is the cup holders. Be gentle but firm, you don't want to snap a clip.

then once you remove that, there are two more torx screws at the bottom of the stereo surround fascia near the ashtray / storage compartment.

I'll pass on the info to him this weekend and make sure that he or me will post pics and review when purchased. I think though he's thinking of getting it early(ish) next year.

The plunging Aussie dollar is going to hurt on that purchase!
