There was a thread suggesting to use wise grip to unscrew mounting clips from the bottom, but it did not work for me.
Here is the picture of the screw before I got to it.

As I mentioned above wise grip did not work for me. I used a hack saw blade to cut in to the mounting screws from the bottom.

Here is the picture after I gave it few twists.

In my case I had to scan XM module with Vag-Com because it had software version 0040 on the box itself which is known to be really buggy. The guy who I got it from thought it was 0080 sofware version, but was not sure why it had 0040 on the box. After looking it up it seems that it was reflashed at some point

Now turn it on and enjoy sat radio of your choice
