Answer
The outside ring around the inside handle will pop off with a little prying, look around the edges and the arm rest for screws. Pop off the switch panel, there should be one or two screws behind that. Pry easily around the edges and it should pop off easy. I'm not positive, but you might have to pop off the speaker cover and speaker.

Merry Christmas to you too. Good luck.
