First, pull the knobs off the HVAC controls. These three knobs on the dash just pull off. There are no screws to break so just give them a little tug. Next, you'll see two small phillips head screws. Remove them. Once that is out, its just clips that is holding the entire center part of the dash. I find it easiest to pull from the AC vents. The thing will pop right out.
Unplug the wiring harness from the HVAC controls and set it aside. Now, you'll see a steel bracket that is holding the radio/CD player. Unscrew these and the unit will lift out. Unplug the three wiring harnesses and the antenna from the back of the radio.
By the way, the fact that your dealer will not remove the funky lighting kit doesn't mean it can't be done. It just means they have a policy against messing with anything that Toyota didn't authorize to be installed. More than likely, it will be easy to track down and remove all the offending wires. Just be careful not to disconnect anything that actually should be there in the process.
