The following guide shows how to remove the cup holder in your car. This operation is surprisingly simple. First, open the cup holder.

Then, use a finger to hold the cover open, where the cup symbol is located, and disengage the cup holder mechanism. If you pay attention, you will notice two metal tabs on the sides of this mechanism.

Using your hands, pull the two tabs inward, toward each other, and pull them to release everything.
