Are you plugging directly into the headunit or using a plug and play type device?

yes by removing the main plug and plugging the elan-emk 050 mute box inline

Exercise extreme caution when removing the 4 plastic blanks as they are very easy to scratch.

so they just unclip with out removing the whole trim

Yes indeedy

Although you can just pull the trim surround off to make life much easier.

I always take off the larger outer trim myself.

You'll possibly struggle for space if you've got a big lump of mute lead to plug in. If you also remove the top storage bin you could try and pull the wires into the void between the radio and steering wheel.
