V60 2012MY Centre console Cup Holder Dismantle Help

[daveaasmith]

Hi folks

I have a 2012 V60 which has no Bluetooth so I have purchased a receiver ‘kit’ to achieve similar. This (MPOW unit) plugs into the AUX in the bin section at the rear of the centre console and the 12V socket in the middle cup holder section.

It’d be great if these were in the same section but alas they aren’t, so...

I am toying with whether to burrow (i.e. drill) through from the bin to the cup holder, or going underneath the centre console to achieve the same.

I understand that the cup holder should just pop out on my 2012 (I think this changed in 2015) but although the holder comes loose, the slide lid stops it coming out - any ideas here??

Also to remove the centre console is it just two bolts at the front just under the edge of the waterfall, plus four in the ‘bin’??

Thanks in advance.
