It's not too bad. You'll need a torx bit in a ratchet to get the screws out of the back. I'm sure there's a DIY guide around here somewhere as I remember using one when I changed mine, but that was a couple of years ago.

A couple of important points:

- You need to disconnect the battery at least half an hour before you start work as unexpected deployment of the airbag can be startling.

- If you have the factory radio you will need the code to get it working again after disconnecting the battery.
