I have a A4 B6 the coin/card holder differs on different models. I have read loads of forums all saying the tabs are hidden and you just have to feel around i don't know about other models but on the B6 (2001 - 2005) the tabs can't be seen by looking into the gaps from the front, however if you remove the grey dash shroud above, gently use a screwdriver from the glovebox side and pop it off you can push down on the two tabs with a small screwdriver through the top of the console (the grey plastic structure under the dash shroud you removed).

If you do it this way there are no breakages, no nonsense and takes less than 2 minutes.

Also I found out how the tray looked by going onto ebay and searching for part which gave me an insight into what the locking tabs looked like.
