Remove Trim Front Passenger Area V70-XC70 2006

I've just hooked up an iMiv adapter (LE model, front mount) to get my ipod playing through my stock HU850 radio and it sounds great.

The only problem I have is where to locate the module. Although the module itself is small, with the connectors on it becomes big enough to pretty much fill the glove box.

I'd like to look at placing it behind some of the trim/carpet on the passenger side but I can't find any instructions on how to do that.

If anyone can tell me how to remove the trim I will be happy to post what spots I can find that seem suitable for mounting the iMiv.

Specifically I would like to remove the trim panel above the passengers feet under the glove box. Also the trim panel on the side of the transmission tunnel above the carpet on the passenger side. Some have written that the unit can be slipped under the carpet once you get the panel off.

I don't know if it makes a difference but my V70 is an R and I have the factory bluetooth module.

Not very familiar with the 'new' models, but 1998-2000 cars, the glove box needs to be removed before removing the screws that hold the passsenger side kick plate.

Thanks Claus.

It would be great if someone had instructions for the 2006 V70's. The trim on the transmission tunnel has no obvious screws and I don't want to start trying to pop it off its attachments without knowing what I am doing.
