Can it not be done fishing from behind the centre console through to behind the passenger air vent ?

Tried that, just cutting up my hands trying to feed it through with a cable tie. iPod instructions show just pull it out but mine is not shifting!

If you need new clips they cost about £1.09 from your dealer - the panel next to the steering wheel (with the temp sensor in) on my car only had 3 (should have 4) on and was making a squeaking sound - couldnt be bothered getting it sorted under warranty and just bought another clip - irritating squeak noise now gone 1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold

It's a pain to remove. A Wiggs mentioned, remove the center surround and side vent cover first. Then it's just pulling. What helped me was carefully prying each side with a screwdriver.
