Firstly pull out the gear lever gaitor and remove the screws as shown below

Then remove the sunglasses holder just by opening the door of it then pull out. this will then allow access to the upper two screws of the holder.



You can then pull the unit out which holds the ashtray, ASC button and sunglasses holder.
Pop the ASC button out and disconnect the cable from the back of it.



Remove the cables for the 12v cigarette lighter and then pop the socket out.



Insert the ASC button in the AC relocation unit and connect the cable. Insert the cigarette lighter socket and connect cables. Leave the unit dangling for now.
