Thats box is for the keyless entry central locking iirc.
Good stuff on the deadening. It does feck all and weight alot for what it is. Iv not removed the front bulkhead deadening but it will be a bitch to do. The vinyl will weight a good 10kg and the tar stuff behind it another 10kg.

keyless entry? so seeing as i have only one key and no fob if i were to remove this would the passenger door unlock by using the key manually? i dont mind a challenge :) might as well as im swaping dashes anyway, got 12kg out so far :)

Yep its the keyless reciever. I would think your passenger door would open with the key in the drivers door. unplug it and see.
Removing the dash wont be enough. You will have to remove the steering column, steel crossbar, vents and climate control evaporators and the list goes on.
