I have a 2010 and mine is a bit different. On mine I pop the plastic base of the shifter boot out. Not around the chrome, but the plastic on the outside of the chrome. The rest is pretty obvious. There are four screws, and then carefully lift up the console and unplug the 4WD switch which also carries the wires to the cup holder lights..
