Almost a disaster....

I was trying to be careful of removing the multimedia knob but while trying to pry the ring off, the whole top came off. Which make it easy for me to remove the two adhesives (top one with the arrows and another double sided piece).

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.
