Please see my picture. Have I got to remove all dash to take this out and fit a flush mount USB for CarPlay !

It comes out by pulling but it’s really really tight. You can try prying it from lower edge with plastic trim tools. But probably easiest to take the glove box out, you can then help the removal by pushing from rear.

Glove box comes out by first removing the small trim panel facing the door from the end of the dasboard and then undoing torx screws in the glove box and along it’s front bottom edge, 7 in total I think.

Magic. Thank you
 
What are you guys fitting in place of this panel please ?
VanX do a panel that fits into that cubby hole. If you ring them you can select what fittings you want. I have a double usb port, a 12v socket and a 3 way switch fitted to mine.

Thanks for that. Just out of curiosity what is the three way switch controlling?
