I’ve just managed to lose a micro sd card beneath the electric handbrake switch 😳

 

at first I almost got it back and the switch was sticking but it dropped fully down and the switch works fully again. 
 

could I access it if I removed the cup holders? Or do they even come out??

 

I am great at removing things but fairly sh1te at putting them back together. 
 

 

Can’t help you there but I feel your pain - I managed to get the usb connector from my VCDS lead wedged in between the drivers seat guide rail and the door trim the first time I used it and removed the plug from the diagnostic port and it took me ages to get the damn thing out! Good luck removing your sd card, I reckon you’d be easier to cut the losses and buy another unless it has irreplaceable data on it?

Ouch, and cheers for the reply, nah it’s a cheap replacement and nothing of importance on it.  Just anxious in case it causes interference with the electric handbrake. 
 

I don’t want to risk damaging the piano black surround so I may just let it be. 

Judging how easily I destroyed a 64gb micro sd when taking the back cover off my daughters Amazon fire tablet a while back without removing it I’d be surprised if one was capable of doing any damage down there. More likely to just get munched up and forgotten about.....

😂😂

 

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. 
 

I’ll probably just replace the micro sd card. 
 

Thanks again 👍

So, this little sh1te remerged today...warning came on 'faulty handbrake'.

 

The electric switch for the handbrake was stuck in an upright position so I could see a tiny piece of the card and after a bit of wrestling I got it out!

 

Lucky tbh!
