Installing Kuda Phone Base in 2011 Mini?

Just got my Kuda PhoneBase today but having trouble installing it. The installation instructions are here: http://www.kudausa.com/manuals/29244...BMW%20Mini.pdf

The instructions show removing the passenger side console in order to loosen a screw securing the right side of the large circular console housing. But on the 2011 model the passenger console has been replaced with the secret compartment storage. When I lift the secret compartment storage there is no screw anywhere to be found.

Anyone know what the fix for this is so that I can loosen the center console in order to insert the Kuda mount tabs? Other than waiting till tomorrow and calling the Kuda folks, that is.

Lift the Secret compartment door and you will see a black plastic cover over the area where the screws are. Use a plastic knife to pry the cover off and then you can get to the screws.

Not sure if that is show in the "How To Remove the Dash" videos or not but you might want to watch them.

The videos are just what I needed. Good to know that just prying the stuff off is what it takes. I was hesitant to do that without knowing that's how its meant to be done.

Thanks!!!
