To begin with the 2007 and earlier models, the front seats need to be put to their rear position; the console side trim panels should be pried out; the bolts in front of the console on each side removed and the seats should then be moved forward. Fourth, take out the four bolts at the rear of console, each on the two sides of the car. Depress the shift lever trim ring by pushing on the part-number tab and pull the trim ring and wiring away from the console. Raise the console and pull out all the electrical connectors before taking out the center console: the process of center console installation is the reverse of its removal. For 2008 and later models, move the front seats to their farthest forward position and lift console outer trim. Release the shift boot from the shift console trim ring and, in case of models with manual transmission, the shifter handle must also be pulled out. To remove this it is necessary to pry out the shift console trim ring and for vehicles with manual transmission the shift boot and the ring are to be removed as one piece. For 2010 and later models: there are several screws on the back side of the panel to be removed, then the top center console top panel can be pulled up forward. Take the console storage compartment fasteners and then lift out the compartment, finally, disconnect by the connectors. Fold the forward most part of the rear seats completely backward, then dismantle the carpet entirely so as to access the bolts, then put back the seats. Raise the carpet to unscrew the rear bolts of the console, two of them while others can be at the top side of the console. Last of all, raise the console, pull out all the electrical connectors and then at last, you can pull out the center console while installation is the reverse of the process.
