Center console removal??
Does anyone know how to remove the center console/take it apart? I want to take out my power adapter to tap into it's wires but i'm not sure how to get to it.... I tried pulling it with no luck, so i'm thinking i have to take apart the whole center to get to it... Can anyone shine some light on my situation? Any pics would greatly be appreciated...
just want to make sure you you wanna take out the NAVand Radio control.Is that right? If it is..Very Easy I did it twice today.
First off do not start the engine. Without your foot on the
brake push the start button once. This will turn on the ac power for the car. Next apply the ebrake all the way to the floor then step your foot on the brake and move your shifter to D(drive) positon. (just a reminder dont release the e-brake untill you have putted the shift back into P(park) positon)
Okay to take off the AT shift **** you will need to grab and push down on the silver ring.
Next you'll see and a clip, you want to pull back as the way the arrow is shown.
Next tape up along both side on the console like how i did in the picture this was done to avoid any scratch or damage to the surface when im removing the units. Now stick your finger into the shift boot and try to pull up the console.
This is to show you where the clip is located on both side
Now located these 2 bolts and unscrew them.
Next pull the unit outward and downward alittle and it'll come out.
Now you want to unclip the 3 plug except for the one in the red circle because when i tried to unclip it that thing is super hard to come off so dont take any risk by trying to take it off.
Next located these 2 bolts and unscrew them.
Now stick your hand in there and pull out the central air vents/control unit.
This what both unit will look like off the dash.
Next located these 2 bolts and unscrew them.
Now with both hand slowly pull the monitor out and unclip the plug in the back.
This what look like with everything off except for the radio/cd unit still attach.
Next to take off the radio/cd until you will need to loacte these 2 bolts and unscrew them.
The following sections need to be looked at carefully.
There are 2 seperate sections, one for the NON-Nav unit and the other for
the Nav equipped one.

no, i wasn't trying to take out my radio and what not.... but thanks for the directions though. I want to get to the power adapter that sits in the center console "glove box." I have an 07 Gsedan and we didnt have ipod intergration, but i just bought a wire that has RCA's and a black and red wire (to hard wire) that hooks up to the main plug of my ipod to play video's etc...
