Remove aircon control unit from dash in 2007 9-5

[raymer24]

just wondered if anyone knows how to remove the aircon unit from the dashboard in a late model (facelift) 9-5? I can feel a screw on the left & right sides and also on the bottom and assume you have to remove the fascia of the aircon first to expose the heads of these 3 screws, which I think may be what actually holds the unit in the dash (may be wrong though??)

I had a 2002 9-5 aero and the stereo and aircon unit came out of that easily. This is totally different...

Shouldn't really be that different. I know the radio is held in by 4 screws but the climate control panel should just pry out with a small flat blade screw driver.

Sure enough Brad - just tried it and it came out with a bit of persuasion. Thanks for your help.
