jg42 - Removing the bin is easy. Kneel on one of the front seats facing backwards and place your thumbs backwards and towards the shifter to your thums should now rest on the lip of the sliding try at the front of the rest. Then place your 3 middle fingers from each side into the cubby box area and extend them down to the bottom of the coin holder bit that sticks out from the main mould. Simply papply pressure and squeeze back and upwards and it will lift right out. You will then see screws inside at the bottom and some to the side - never removed more than this apart from phone clip and the panel ynder it which reveals the module - I think.
If your stuck this early on then take it nice and slow and check out this link.
