- Gear shift **** off (Automatic)
- Radio removed (Went pretty easy, was a surpise :-) )
- 2 screws out
- pulled the centre console plate out.
Next stept is to remove the switch box for the centre console switches like seat heaters etc. (Hope you know what I mean):
According to the manula, there are "just" 2 latches which need to be openened to remove the whole unit.
Been looking at it for a couple of minutes but WTF, where are those 2 latches ???
I have seen 6 or 8 smaller clips, which you can open and you have an opportunity to take a first part out (2 outer switches), but not the full unit.
Anyone has a picture (or more) about how to take off this module?
Thank you

BTW:
I have put everything together again as I want to go for a long drive tomorrow. Again without the carbon look centre console. :-(
My quick solution to your problem is to forget about it.
I am in the process of moving all my switches from one bezel to another, this is the third time I have removed these switches, do not forget the plugs as they have to be removed to get just the bezel in your hand. These parts were designed to be put together easily not to be taken apart easily.
The seat heater module is held in with 4 latches two at each end, my photo shows two of these latches just under the silver rocker switch, they have to be pushed in while clearing the undercuts at that end.
The emergency red button and two other switches are in a module that comes out the same way, the remaining two buttons are similarly held in. The photo shows the four latches on the emergency module.
Take out the large wire connector, this is held in by two small bumps on its side which snap into holes in the side of the socket, spring the side of the socket and pull on the plug and not the wires.
A photo shows two smaller plugs and the bumps on them, these plugs are removed the same way.
It is fortunate that I have this all apart, it is tricky that is why I suggest you forget the whole idea.
