Here is what u need I think. I used these to replace my trim, but it's in Dutch. There is enough info in the pics tho. If u have any questions, I can probably help.

Tip: To get to the screw to remove the dash trim, you must first remove the plastic trim around the bottom portion of the steering wheel.

I believe somone has provided instructions on how to remove it. I’ve done it and it’s a little time intensive but not too difficult. Look for the post titled “Remove Dash and Center Console Trims”...I’m on my phone and I don’t know how to link the exact post. Good luck!

Here is the thread I believe your talking about, but this thread is far from complete:
https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-b9-platform-discussion-212/remove-dash-center-console-trims-2943620/

They posted the repair docs for removing the center console, center trim, and such, but not the dash trim or the instrument panel under the steering wheel.

Found an English version for removing the dash trim.
Removing the A/C display control head from the trim once it is off the dash, can be a little tricky.

Removal wasn't too bad, once you know what needs to be done. I found a couple videos that weren't necessarily focused on replacing the trim but one needed to remove the trim around the headlight switch to add a digital temperature gauge to the vent above that trim and the other had to remove the dash trim to get the vents out.

This will show you what you need to do to get the headlight trim and removing the oddly shaped plastic piece that covers most of the area below the steering wheel. It hides one of the screws, below the odometer reset button, for the vent dash trim.

This one will show you how to get the dash trim off, and what happens when you don't remove the screw by the odometer reset button.

The trickiest parts involved the AC control. The plugs are a bit tricky to get out, they have a little red release mechanism that were tricky to release, and the unit itself was hard to get out of the trim piece. There's 4 torque screws that hold it into the trim but also a dozen or so clips that I couldn't figure out how to open simultaneously. The clips themselves are very flimsy and easy to break. So I just ended up breaking them, since I had no plans for the aluminum trim piece.

Totally worth it though as it looks dope. Now I just need to cough up the $800ish bucks for the door trims 8(
