Keep pulling on it until it comes off.

I thought that yours was similar to mine, but now I see that it's not. See if there are any screws behind the vents, but I doubt it. The only thing I can suggest is keep pulling til it comes off. The trim ring on mine had 2 screws on top, and 2 clips on the bottom. I thought the trim was gonna snap when I tried to get the clips to release. Eventually, it came off. Move the steering wheel down all the way (don't remove it) to give yourself more room.

you must remove the center console/armrest section to access it.
