How to remove central trim? pleaz help

Hello i m going to get my f15 this saturday and there is an usb cable that was installed for the coyot engin. I m looking for a video that can help me to remove the central panel (wood style) just under the gps screen... Thank you for helping me.
I saw here a video that shows i must start oppening the trap on the passenger side board. Is there another way?

The center trim is only held by a few clips, so you need to start pulling carefully from the Start/Stop Engine all the way to the other side. That's it, just make sure to take your time and don't apply too much pressure on the wood.

if you do not have plastic trim tools go over to your local paint or hardware store and purchase plastic putty knives. work the same and various sizes will help you pry up trim pieces or panels without damaging.

I removed mine recently. All I did was pull it out carefully. There will be wires connected to the start button and the vents, so don’t pull it too far out at first. Really very easy to remove. If you want to get an idea, pull out the small trim on the other side of the steering wheel to practice, and you will see what the clips look like. There is no need to remove the trim piece around the speedometer cluster. Good luck!

Punching a hole in the nice leather? Deserves some prison time.
