How do I remove this panel (m)

I want to hardwire my new V1. I have a 2005 X5. I want to tap into the HomeLink wires. Only problem is I'm not sure how to get the panel out. I don't want to assume the wrong thing and force anything then break something. I was able to remove the back panel (they piece that has the vents in it) and I saw 2 torx screw that apparently held the back part in place. But kinda lost from there.

Here is a pic of the panel. Any help would be great!

Pry using a small flat screwdriver at the front portion of the homelink module (in front of the #2 button). The module need to come down and then forward (toward the front of the car). If you can imagine part of the homelink module extend in the area between the homelink panel that you see and the plastic vent piece that you mentioned. This is something that's difficult to describe without actually showing you how it's done.
