It's not a cover, its the entire radio and the top vents that all come out as one piece, the only good thing is there is enough slack in the harness that you don't have to unplug anything except the hazard button to install it.
Yep. I looked into it quite a bit, actually b4 I bought the hazard button.

1. Remove panel directly below the fresh air/recirc lever, then look up in hole, you will see a circle cutout in the assembly and a screw in there, remove with philips screwdriver.

2. Open top glove box and using a thin flatblade screwdriver (I taped mine with painters tape and the area i was working in) insert it in the slot that's located in the upper right hand side of the head unit assembly. I had to push it in fairly far and then pry up and outward. Eventually a few clips will pop free where you can get your hand behind it and remove the headunit.

You can then unhook the connector to the hazard switch and remove the 2 philips screws securing it, you do not need to unhook any of the headunit wiring. There is plenty of room to work. Install new switch and test, reverse removal steps and you're done.

*Note: the face of the top HVAC vents will come out with the headunit.
