1. put car into neutral, (handbrake on ofc) pull up gear selector housing, it's clipped on (that silvery rectangle that has leather attatched), pull it up over gear knob. (there are some wires attatched, no need to detatch)

2. you find two torx screws under gear selector leather, undo them.

3. pull whole this lower housing towards rear seats, its clipped on from under aircon plastic thingie

you can get it off enough to access everything udner there, if you want to remove it all the way, you need to remove more stuff.. afaik gear selector is in the way

yeah it's accessible after console is removed because 12v/start button/upper button wires must be disconnected from beneath before removing that piece.

but to replace start stop, no need to remove inner plastic

at buttons area nothing has to be detatched. First thing is to remove gear selector leather housing and pulling out console, after that all other stuff is accessible very easily
