1. Lift the central gearstick surround (the shiny silver bit with the gear layout). This lifts from the end closest the the central console pocket. Press your fingers into the gaiter and under the edge of the surround and pull. Unclip the leather gaiter and lift over the gear nob.
2. There are two screws holding the stereo/climate control surround down behind the gearstick. Undo these. Unclip this surround by lifting it from where you lifted the other surround. Once unclipped, this should lift forward and over the gearstick. There is ample switch wiring to allow it to be moved into the passenger leg space.
3. Undo the four screws holding the climate control in and lift it out and into the driver's footwell.
4. You will see the stereo is attached to a double frame. Undo the remaining top two screws holding it in. The frame will now lift out.
