Is there a guide to removing the Comm Unit?

Found this:
First disconnect the battery using the correct method and then wait some time for the airbag system to discharge.
When that's done remove the steering cowling. There's 2 torx screws (T15) on the bottom on either edge towards the drivers seat. Undo these, they stay inside the cowling when they're undone. Then simply unclip and remove the cowling.
Remove the air bag. To do this make sure the wheels are pointing straight ahead. Look on the back of the bottom spoke of the steering wheel and you'll see a metal clip in a hole. Get a flat head screwdriver and put it against the clip. You want to push up towards the centre of the steering wheel, it requires a bit of force. After that's done the airbag will pop forward and you can lift it off. Undo the 3 connectors by lifting the tab out and then carefully pulling them off.
Undo the T50 Torx bolt in the middle of the steering wheel by a few turns and then bang on the back of the steering wheel to loosen it (I had to rock it and pull really hard at the same time). When it moves towards you undo the bolt the rest of the way and lift the steering wheel being careful not to snag the plugs coming off the COM2000 unit.
Next undo the plugs from the back. blue and brown 2 pin one on the edges, a brown one towards the drivers door, a grey one towards the middle and if you have ESP a blue one towards the passenger side.
Undo the clasp from around the com2000 and steering column. Then you need to release 2 tangs, one is on the top to the right and one is underneath, at the back of the com2000 unit. It should then slide off towards you.
To fit the new one, it's really reversal of the removal. The airbag simply pushes back onto the steering wheel. The com2000 can be a bit stiff going back on, but as long as it's lined up right then it will go back on.
