I just had mine out because I was doing a double DIN radio install--I don't know the part number, but I'm sure a dealer or supplier could help with that. Removing it was pretty easy:

1. Pull the horse shoe trim piece off (just held on by clips--pry it gently and it'll pop off).

2. Disconnect the various rocker switches (or just pop them out from inside the horse shoe) so you can get the horse shoe completely out of the way.

3. Pull the center vents out--between the top of the housing and the dashboard there are two clips holding this in--a flat, long screwdriver should be able to get in there and disengage the clips (located about center of each vent opening).

4. Locate the 4 #20 Torx screws (one in each corner) of the plastic housing holding the radio and climate control unit. Remove these screws and the housing should become loose.

5. Gently pull the entire housing toward you. I'm not sure, but you may need to remove the radio and climate control units to pull it out far enough--I don't think so, but you may...

6. The cup holder is just a flat unit in the top of the housing, it should be able to be slipped out toward the rear of the unit and replaced with a new one.

7. Put everything back in reverse order and you should be set to go.

If I missed anything or didn't get something right, someone please correct me--I'm going off memory here :D

Good luck B)
