You just need to remove the center console to get them. Unscrew the shift knob, remove the screw from the cup holder and pop the center console up. It's like a piggy bank - You collect the coins in there until you really need them, then you take it apart.

Thanks alot! BTW, any pictures what screws to remove(step by step)? it's a auto trans... i just want to be really careful, it a new car, don't want to crack those brittle plastics....or plugs/trims. Are there DIY topic re: disassembly of these , so I would just like to refer to them?
