Electronic Key slid down and under cupholder compartment (2012 CX 9)

[Natey]

On the hind side, I broke the top panel of the cup holder while trying to open it at the narrow side right in the middle. It's not visible once put back. Still, I am looking for the cup holder cover, which appears to be very rare to find. If anybody can suggest where to find it, I am willing to give away the treasure I found in that cavity!

Which one do you need? (naughty)

Thanks a million!

I just went to this with a iPhone stuck behind the cup holder. You will need to do the following:

1. downed this manual and look in the 1880 page range and beyond.
2. Remove the front plate. (you will need to put it in N to remove it
3. Remove the side trim plates on the console (you can just loosen them).
4. remove the two screws holding the console.
5. Remove the cup holder and retrieve item.
6. Put back together in reverse...

My son goofed off and dropped my phone behind the cupholder lid. Your post led us to success! Thanks!
