If you need any pics, let me know and I'll post them for you.

Also, don't forget to move the shifter to N or D position before removing it. Just put the key in, turn to Accessories, move the shifter, then turn it off. You can't remove the key and chime will come on. You will need to remove the PDK knob first before you can remove the PDK trim.

No, you would put the tool between the silver trim and the PDK trim above the silver trim. Then pry it (the PDK trim) straight up, not left or right. Start from the rear of the trim (facing toward the trunk) on both sides and work your way toward the shifter. You might want to cover the silver trim around the shifter with masking tape to prevent marring. Be patient and work your way a little at a time. Don't rush.

Good luck. Let me know if you have any other questions.
