3. Pop out speaker cover (next to ignition)
4. Remove the exposed torx screws (one on each hole you exposed)
5. Pull assembly up until it comes out
6. Remove 4 electrical connections attached to back.

The rest is pretty easy. I think there are only two more screws to remove after you separate it from the car. There are also some clips which are easy to remove too. The two control knobs will come out if you pull. Make sure to remember where the needles are in case you move them. Assembly is reverse.
That's the instrument panel, it's just a small part of removing the dashboard.
