Lift up the cradle so you can access the 2 small torx screws on the bottom. Remove those so the cradle comes loose - it's still attached by the beefy cable. Now start to go to town on it with a screwdriver/knife. Just keep prying open the plastic and/or breaking it when you have to. It takes a bit of time but eventually you'll be left with a small-ish circuite board attached to the cable. Wrap that up in plastic wrap/rubber bands so you don't short out any contacts, then tuck it back into the opening the cradle was attached to. Then you can snap the cover back over it.

There wasn't much of a DIY to disassembling the cradle - I seriously just started snapping pieces off, taking care to not cut any wires or short out any copper contacts. Thanks to German engineering for making it so difficult. Hope this helps!
