That was pretty easy, but while attempting to put it back (i did not remove the battery). While trying to slide the ribbon cable back to the touchpad, i saw some smoke, So I stopped. Got in the car, start it and see if my center console still works. I can change the gear, go forward and backwards.

So, I stopped. Now i don't have a touchpad. Rotary knob still works (thank God for the touchscreen).

Removing the battery connection in the back of the car looks like it is not a simple task and it is way too hot outside now. I may have to wait until this coming weekend so i can install the shift knob too.
If I recall correctly there was only one sticker/pad to remove. The layer under it is the touch sensitive layer I believe.
