<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/71680/touareg_torch.jpg"></center><p>How can I remove this. Is it clipped on? I am afraid to attempt as it looks really brittle.

TIA

Default You need to pull a couple screws
There are two one behind each side of the radio, you will need to pull the radio out, there might be one in the ashtray area. Don't remeber for sure.

Then just pull from the top and un-clip it

Default You have to remove the radio using the removal tools
The trim is attached behind the radio.

Default just one of those long pointy ended metal nail files
they work perfectly, or else a sabersaw tip with the teeth filed off. i just use a nail file, go pick one up for like 50 cents at a drug store.

Default first, get some nail filers, plug them into the slots and pull out the radio...
then use a 10mm socket to pull out the trim.

Just be careful if you use the nail files, don't screw up your radio

Bending or breaking the lock so that it can no longer be removed.
