2005 STS Ash Tray

I have more loose change behind the ash tray than actually in it. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to remove the ashtray or if the center console needs to be removed as well. If anyone has any information please advise.

In order to pull just ashtray, the whole front fascia has to pop off, quite the procedure if u haven't done it before or have no experience, your dealer won't have a hard time with it.

the surround is held in place by 4 friction clips. to remove use a butter knife ,covered as to not scar your wood and pry it gently and it will pop out.from there you will see how the ashtray comes out,
