1) Make sure you've nothing behind "the bit above the glove box" - ie the crash panel

2) Take crash panel off and make housing and cut hole

3) fit MFD in there

or

get someone skilled to do it for you.

Im doig mine at the mo i reackon the wires will be long enough TBH but not sure!

You will need to smooth the MFD into the crash panel which involves fibreglass filler and alot of rubbing

Make sure you start with a solid plastic panel as well, yours might be the softer one. Get the scrappy for a later version if so.
