Default how to remove your dashboard console? (help needed)

hi guys, i drive a satria (non neo version) and would like to know how to remove the centre console (the plastic part where you put the radio at (usually wood colored for wiras or cf colored for satrias ) coz last time someone stole my radio and broke it, wanna take it out to glue back..
also, can anyone tell me how to remove the cluster meter too?? i know there are 2 screws on the top, but is that all?

those are a clip u hav to use sumthing to 'kiao' it out mayb a small flat screw driver but becareful is a plastic easy broken.. nt sure below ur radio the console thr hav any screw o nt..

2nd-after remove the 1st panel(adjust ur steering to lowest cuz make u easy to take the out the 2nd panel later),remove 2screw at the meter housing thr, 1 at left side of the digital clock(curve thr),another 2 at the aircond panel thr(after remove the 1st panel den u jz will c the screw)den u can take it out le..

when fitting back,nt to tight the screw too tight(jz agak agak can redi),it might make the plastic hole broken,careful with it..

no need to take out radio also can take out the panel..
if u know take out the radio then it's ok..
refer this web-->then all those circled in yellow, pry as pointed by the arrows, then the green ones :: IMG32009.JPG :: Fotopic.Net

the red arrow pointing from the picture,,behind there got clip..
try to push the clip from behind using ur finger ..
like kian said the plastic may broken..
jus becareful a bit..dont force if cannot take out the panel..slowly take ur time.

hey guys, i removed it... very interesting to do actually.. but there was one thing i could not remove.. the air cond controller.. wanted to see what bulb it was coz one was blown...

managed to remove the cluster meter panel too... but it was tricky to put back... found that there were 5 normal bulbs (like for the fender indicator) and several small ones... but i realised that there was no point changing those to colored because the color will not show up...
as for the ash tray, the bulb polarity seems to be reversed... DO NOT bend the wires to suit.. it WILL blow a fuse... it blew mine yesterday..

hope soneone can help with the air cond controll so i can remove the bulb

when I was at the accessory shop, the guys there did mention its very difficult to remove, they twisted and removed the bulb + holder from the back.

@Vyraz11 if you want someone to do it for you, I'll recommend my regular guys,
HT Auto, Jalan Baiduri, Kampung Tunku, Petaling Jaya. Its beside the Mobil there.

ya bro jeyadev,it's hard to take out the bulb socket thing from the aircond controller...
the thing is very tricky,the socket is small ,black color like a tray socket under the radio ..try twist and pull it out gently..
no need to take out the aircond controller,jus twist the socket and pull out.

after u take out the socket,there is a small plastic blue color like mini condom covering the bulb..
take out the mini condom gently,and then sarung it on new bulb...
if the condom koyak,,then u must go halfcut find dy the thing..the thing very hard to find 1..
