How do you remove the phone cradle?

[bluetec]

As a followup and to benefit anyone reading this in the future, I was also able to split the phone cradle and remove the circuit board and chip just as Erik had done. If there is a way to split the cradle without destroying it, I couldn't find it. There are two small torx under rubber pads in the front of the cradle, but they are of little help. Once split, the wiring and board are easily removed and tucked behind the console. I have ordered the blank plate (see diagram above) from Tischer. Not an elegant solution, but quite satisfying to have the use of the entire console.
