It's very easy.
Look under the door panel's arm rest, there is a hole with a screw at the bottom of it, just unscrew it. Then, look behind the door handle, there is a little plastic cap, take it off with a flat screwdriver (be careful not to mess up the plastic). Behind it, you will find a black screw, take it off. Then, carefully pull on the door panel starting from the bottom and slowly working your way up, it should come off just fine, but might need some force because of the clips that also hold it in place.
When the door panel is detached from the door itself, reach between the two and disconnect the wires going to the alarm LED, windows switches, door lock, etc.
I hope this helps!

there are basically only two screws you have to unscrew like @cur@-TL said. the hard part is understanding that the panel is held on by clips... just have to pull the panel out to unclip it (start from the bottom, then go up). if you want pratice first( or if you're scared of breaking something - which you won't), try removing your door sills. they are held on by the same clips.... and for door sills, there aren't any screws, so just pull and you're done.

oh , forgot to mention to be careful of the door handle... i had to disconnect the metal rod from the white plastic part it is connected to to completely remove the door panel and put it aside..
