Hi,
I know it’s a long shot getting a reply but I have the same issue wondering what’s the best way to take this part out ? I have no clue where to start...
Just attack with a screw driver ?
Two ways I've tried.
Remove the carpet piece within the bin, you should just get the fingers back up under to push on the connector whilst you flip the lid on the aux port and pull firmly. Should pop out. harness will just come out enough to remove but it's a strain. also chance you may rip the lid off.
Other way is remove centre console which is a bit of work. The gearshift surround needs to come off. I don't know if you have auto or manual.
Manual the knob screws off, auto there is a collar under the knob that pulls down revealing one or two screws to take the knob off. Then the shifter surround is clipped in. You will need t pry up. Chances are the plastic will get marked , thin balded screwdriver in a cloth may reduce or a plastic trim removal tool. The there's two screws at the front sides, 4 at the back, 2 10mm blots inside the bin. The rear end cover of the console pulls out.
Plastics are not the highest quality in these so chances are they get marked or if rough you can break clips. There is a harness connector at the front of the console that needs undoing to remove.
Maybe try the first option , see how you go.
