There is no trim to remove IIRC. Look down the right hand side where the small storage hole is under the lights and then move your hand down below that to the edge of the dash trim and them you should feel and then see the port to plug in to.

Spot on, near the driver's right knee under the dash. Here is a link to where the port is on most VAG cars in case helpful

You should get a update message next time you are on your PC and connected to the t'interweb, mine did the update automatically.

Ilexa also sell in the UK so which is cheaper depends a bit on Ex Rates/customs/VAT etc. I was lucky enough to carry one through from the US, but last time I looked Ilexa were cheaper
