Default 2000 C5 Ignition switch

Hello everyone, I need help again. I'm replacing the ignition switch in my 2000 coupe and have the switch out of the dash but don't yet understand how to remove the lock cylinder and the interlock cable. I didn't spend a lot of time prying on things as I usually ruin things fairly quickly and knew someone here would know exactly how to disassemble it.. I'm going back out to have another look right after I order a new switch. TIA for your help.

Thanks! Now waiting for parts. Haven’t attempted the receiver you sent, haven’t looked at how to remove the panel yet. Thanks again for your help.

I’m sure it’s fine if it worked in your car. If not that’ll prove a bigger problem with the buss or another issue and I’ll be able to put it to rest and move on. Thanks again for your help!!
