Pretty much followed what others have done with leaving the chrome ring on. I popped off the leather strips on either side of the console carefully pulling from the front towards the seats, after that I partially popped off the larger black plastic pieces below where the leather pieces on both sides were just close to the small plastic piece that wraps around the back of the pass through storage so I could pop off that small piece from the bottom. I then rolled the bottom of that piece carefully towards the engine which allowed the top that has 2 plastic tabs that hook the back side of the pass through to unhook. That exposed the back of the USB module. Then from the passengers side I used a small plastic trim tool to press in the top tab of the USB module 1st, pushed the top of the USB module out, then used the same tool to press the bottom tab and it then completely came out. Reverse order to reassemble. All in this took me about 25 minutes from start to finish.
