Cup Holder Removal to get to lighter socket

I want to wire my gps plug to the power for the lighter and it looks like the whole cupholder center gearshift cover will have to be removed. I see 2 screws in the cup holders but does anyone know what other fasteners hold that cover on.
Thanks

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can remove the cupholders seperately from the center boot console as it is all one piece. Those screws are what helps fasten it down.

Yes it's all one thing I am just trying to figure what else holds it down before I start taking it apart and pulling on some hidden screw and break something.

I have a web site for installing the shift boot and ebrake handle boot with leather ones from Redline. You might find it helpful.

There is another screw in the rear cup holder. Once all 3 are removed, slide it forward (or backward) a little and you will be able to access the underside. Careful of the sport button wires. The lighter wire is a "plug on" for easy removal.
