Removing center console storage box

Anyone know how the storage box in the CLS63 center console can be removed ? I see two screws on the rear side. Looking to run a wire from the USB port inside the box to the glove compartment area...

See private messages. I recommend you get a cigaret lighter removal tool before you start as the cig lighter is difficult without it. I was able to remove mine with some C-Clip pliers and the prongs turned around but it was a pain. The Mercedes tool is $100+ but I think this might work as well:
