Take the plastic surround first,
Put your finger into the gap opened up close to the gear stick,
Pull it up

I always lift mine from the bottom (closest to the rear seats).

I just found it impossible to remove it with out breaking it, I pulled it up and was going good untill I got to the headunit bit, So I fixed it, abit of super glue, plastic welding, sanding and painting, looks like new and stock, can't even see the cracks but I broke it again by pulling it off again.
