You're pretty much going to have to remove half the interior to get it all out. Mostly passenger side iirc.

Ah right, I see. I wanted to do that with the old corsa, but in the end it seemed like too much of a deal.
There's wire all over tbh, but I'm sure you'll have fun with it lol

Your best bet is to actually probably strip the interior so you can see where all the wires currently are, take some pics for reference. Then replace it. I just imagine that it's all going to get in your way anyway. If you have a garage or driveway, it shouldn't be an issue to do so.
As long as you have some torx keys, I can't see it taking more than a couple hours to strip the interior. It's just a pain in the ass, refitting is worst than removal.
Stripping interior doorcards and roof lining is fine, but I think the dash will be harder to do. Also I've read that you need to be careful not to bend the roof lining (you may need another person to help you) when removing it and that you can remove it through the boot fairly easily.
I've read that you only have to replace the interior loom when doing this job though, ask somebody for confirmation, but I hope that'll make your job easier.
