Start by removing the Centre Console,
refer to - How to remove Matrix's Centre Console

Tools required is a Phillips Screw Driver and a piece of cloth,
After having removed the centre console, take a piece of cloth and insert below the Cluster Panel as shown,
push the ODO Switch upwards to remove, you'll need to push hard initially cos it quite tight if you are removing it for the 1st time

After pushing out the ODO switch, remove the connector

Next remove the Phillips screw, do not remove all the way, leave a little and use your fingers to turn the remaining few turns,
be careful not to drop the screw, i dropped mine and is forever lost somewhere in the cabin,

Next use both hands and hold the cluster and pull it off, (picture show left hand cos right hand holding camera to take picture)

Bottom view of ODO switch, arrows show the 3 screws, which you may want to remove to turn/invert the metal spring, for
easy future removal of the cluster panel without having to remove the centre console.

Installation is the reverse of the above steps....
