Needless to say, I now have a lost knife somewhere inside the centre console. God knows what the consequences will be (rattling, short circuit etc).
I then got a small watch makers screw driver and managed to jimmy the cover out from the front. Honestly VW, what's the point of having a removable plastic cover that is so hard to remove? Anyways, I managed to get the usb cable from the console through the opening and into the glove compartment. The ipod cable was to short to do the same, but since I'm not an Isheep person, I don't care. EDIT - Just realised there is an ipod cable I didn't connect. Oh well.
Thanks gviddy for the tip.
Hey thats great that you fed it into the glove box.. pity you didnt see the extra ipod cable.. i dont use Apple either but its handy having them both in the glove box and if the car is sold at a later date can say there is ipod connection in the glove box... although they need a new adaptor now dont they....

I must have used my screwdriver to pop out the plastic, as yeah couldnt be possible to get my arm all the way around.. i had a very long screw driver with me... sucks you dropped your knife.....
