ashtray take the little tray bit out, torx screw under there, undo that then it should come out, need to tilt it back to get it out.

front cup holder, lift the flap up(dont press the button so the cup holders come out just lift the flap) look inside at each side you will see a silver tab type thing, push them inwards towards eatch other and it will slide out

Haven't tried the torx screw bit yet as still can't get the front bit off the cup holder. These silver tab type things? is there photo or anything that someone could show me?

Had a go but nothing moving around in there and don't want to break it getting it off.
