Center Console Removal

I foolishly unscrewed the front cup holder on my 2014 G63 to clean it. Didn't realize that the nut or backing plate was not fastened like the other dashboard screws. Needless to say, I am unable to reattach the cup holder mount.

Does anyone have details on how to remove the center console so that I can gain access to the mounting from behind? At the very least, an exploded view of the parts perhaps so that I can figure it out? Would be interested in the full removal instructions to gain access to do some custom install of my radar controller anyway.

Thanks

Thanks, but that doesn't help. Need to remove the center console on a 2014 G Wagon. Video posted was of a completely different car.

The part I am trying to reattach is the mesh net cup holder assembly. I removed the 2 long machine screws not realizing that there must be some kind of backing plate that fell out of place. I tried to get my hand under and feel for it, but nothing.

Anyone with directions to remove the console please help.

stuck trying to remove front of lower center console/transmission tunnel leather trim

I'm trying to remove the "lower" center console piece; that is, the large leather trim that covers the transmission tunnel in between the 2 front seats. All visible screws holding the transmission tunnel cover down to the plastic below it have been removed, as far as I can tell. I'm able to remove the wood trim around the transmission shifter, remove the front plastic tray and have gotten the rear free and able to lift it up at the rear. However the front end of this trim that is immediately under the radio and the oddments tray seems to be firmly secured in that seam. No amount of lifting up at the back and pushing down at the front, or pulling back from the front seems to loosen this up. It wiggles just a little bit side to side, but otherwise I can't figure out how/why it is attached so securely. Anyone have suggestions or knowledge as to why this is so secure (is there a screw/bolt I'm not seeing) and more importantly, how to remove this part without me breaking it?!

Close up of where the front of this lower center console covering the transmission tunnel tuck underneath center console trim that I cant seem to pry free or separate.
