Center Console Removal?

I had some free time today so I thought I would install the ten glass buttons I purchased on my '11 V8VS. The seat buttons were easy, the top four in the ski slope were fairly easy but I can't seem to figure out how to take the center console apart so that I can access the stereo head unit to install the three that fit there. I have watched the video on youtube about how to access the area in a DB9 but it is not the same as a Vantage. Does anyone here know how to take apart the center console? The final glass button goes in the dash to release the glove box.

So far I have discovered the two screws hidden under the cup holders and the two under the leather piece behind the arm rest. Still nothing moves. Anyone know what the next step is?

You have a roadster which is a more difficult removal/install than the coupe.
PM sent...
Aside from that, everyone have a Happy New Year!

This one of the downsides of limited production cars. Not many people have done the trailblazing for us in the past and documented DIY jobs. It was nice in the Porsche world. No matter what I wanted to do there were always multiple write ups telling me exactly how to do it.

You'll manage to figure it out, and you will love the look! It's subtle, but really helps in making the interior even more elegant!

Installing glass switches

Don thanks for the help. Mine was a newer model so a few twists involved but got it done. If anyone needs help with installing glass switches on a newer vantage or vantage roadster let me know.
