2012 ML350 W166 cup holder removal instructions

I need to replace the front cup holder in my 2012 ML350 W166 but I can’t seem to find instructions or a video to show me how. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you end up find out ? I'm about to do a repair on one of the four "tangs" that has fallen inside. This
has console removal.

you must remove all the central console, like this video:

Pratically, there are 2 screw ahead, there are a little panel inside the harmrest (remove it, 2 little screw), and always in the harmrest there are other two structural screw.

once everything has been unscrewed, the central console must be removed from the rear seats.

That's all

actually, a good person to ask about this is @we47b1me , he did a retrofit of a ML250 he use to have and he went from standard to heated/cooled. He is a good mod person to talk to.

Thank you for the upload of the videos. One of my cupholder's teeth went inside so I'll have to open everything to fix it. I wanted to live with it but now it can't hold drinks and it will create a big mess if I take a big turn.

@we47b1me Is the retrofit to get heated/cooled cupholders worth the time, money and trouble? I don't have the option, but since I'm going to be tearing down the console, I might consider it if you say it's worth it. Thanks for your input man.
