C5 A6 dash removal DIY?

[Slavchob]

Hey there fellow AZ's, I just picked up a 04 A6 2.7t, and am going to do a full interior swap. I know how to take everything but the center console and dash out. I tried searching without much luck. If theres one that I missed, please forgive me and post it here, so I can get to work. Thanks!

I'd add a TOTAL FF'in PITA. Pretty much you have to remove everything adjoining the dash, Just start removing screws...

Actually... This is coming from someone who just did it, once you remove the console and the radio/hvac, ect, the dash comes out with about 10-12 screws.

Theres about 3-4 screws on the end caps of either end (like where the fuses are and the same on the other side) Then theres a few screws under the dash on the drivers side flanking the steering column, then about 6 or so on the passenger side where the airbag is... the it comes right out

took me and my buddy about an hour to get the dash out and a total of 6 hours or so for the entire interior.... wasnt as bad as i thought!
