You need to loosen the carpeted panels so that you can access the bottom of the guage cluster. There will are two screws with 7mm heads that hold the bottom on, they are pointing straight up.

The carpet panel have 3 screws each. The one in the middle is a little tricky to unscrew but if you compress the seat cushion, you can get it. For the radio *****, I don't know that model but in general, you just pull the ***** and there is a nut that you have to take out.
