i havent had a chance to play with a statesman console, but i would assume that its very similar to a standard VR-S.
Lift the base part where the power window switches and handbrake is, from the rear, that will pop up, unclip the wiring for power windows and ciggie lighter. then you should see 3 screws below the stereo area. undo them, and gently prise the console surround from the bottom and it should pop out.
now you should have access to the radio.
