Replace rear 12V power socket point

Hi

I got myself a dash cam and I am routing the power cable to the 12V socket point in the centre console rear seat area. I have routed cable to centre console, but now need some advice.

My intention is to run the cable just underneath the plastic trim (on side of centre console) and into the rear console trim piece that locates(holds) the 12V power socket. I want to pop the socket out, splice my power cable to it and re-insert the 12V socket, so its a hidden connection.

I have seen the pdf's that show carpet removal and rear plastic trim removal. However my trim only has the 2 12V socket points - no rear DVD, 4way air con, rear heated seat switchs etc. The 12V points are on a rectangular trim part which is held on the overall rear console trim part.

My question is, can the 12V sockets be removed from the smaller rectangular trim part, or can the rectangular trim part be removed seperatly from the rear console part without having to remove carpets and whole rear trim piece.

Thanks
