Default Climate/DVD panel removal

I am installing a Panavise cell phone mount in my 2008 550. I am having trouble getting the climate control panel out of the dash. Maybe i am being to soft and afraid to break something but can someone post a picture of where the clips are on the sides?

Thanks,
Roger

Although it's for RH drive cars, this is what I used:

Use a plastic trim tool so that you won't scratch anything.

Ok I got the panel out. The LCI one looks different than the previous generation. Anyways the Panavise mount will not hook up to the same screw location. Also there are two more clips. I will post a picture later. Anyone have a better mounting idea for a phone? I do not want to use one of the air vents clip on style ones. Any help is greatly appreciated.
