Easiest way to access this part of the center console?



In my car the circled part is blank and I want to install a button on that blank. What's the easiest way to get to the back of that piece?

Thanks!

ETA - never mind. Turns out that blank isn't big enough for the button I want to install anyway. If anyone wants to answer for the sake of others, feel free.

We go over its removal for the R56 in our Radio IHKA Panel and Window Door Lock Switch Replacement on our site under MINI > Tech Info (tab at top) > R56 articles > and it's under Electrical.

Thanks. That does look pretty easy. I may just reconsider getting a smaller button to install there.

Oh, it's hardly worth documenting. Just a momentary button to activate my garage door opener. It will have a lit blue LED ring that matches the blue ambient lighting though. Like this one:




If I stick with the button I have, I'll probably mount it in the brake console where the "joystick" would be if I had one.
