your supposed to unhook the neg on the battery and pull all the airbag fuses, then there's spaces on the back of the steering wheel, not the ones with the screws. You put the screwdriver in there and turn either way, once you do them all you need to be careful because the bag will drop out, so hold it while twisting in the holes.
then once it comes out you need to disconnect the yellow wire, then you should have easy access to the buttons, i'm wanting to do mine today, ill make a video if i do it.

if u turn the wheel like i did its easier, the clips you have push outwards.
a small mirror sure comes in handy
