I am having trouble finding on how to remove my center console. Looking for some instructions, preferably without taking out the seats.
Due to the clear stuff flaking off i need to repaint it so I've decided to give it a go and feel clueless.
Completely stock, no swap. No motor noise when I click the buttons on forward, back, up or down. Nothing. Everything looks connected under the seat but not entirely sure. Fuse 1 and 44 are good on the side of the dash. This is for a 2003 Wagon with GLX interior and most upgrades from the factory. I need to move the seat in order to remove the center console/radio cage as it's blocking the armrest nut.
View 1 RepliesI would like to buy a V to deliver mail. I would need to remove the center console so I can sit in the middle. I did this in my 05. Can it be done fairly easily and will the mode switch come out of the console for mounting elsewhere, like under the dash or seat?
View 2 RepliesTonight I was moving some stuff in my car around and placed my work badge in the console area behind the shifter of my 2011 Camry LE. It's the area with the aux plug in. I will attach picture. Anyways the badge somehow became stuck between the door and the back side. How to remove the lid?

View 13 RepliesSo I have the center console apart trying to get access to remove the 12v power outlet, and I have it all apart but I can't for the life of me figure out how the power outlet comes out of its mount. Does it slide out of the top, or come down through the bottom?
View 2 RepliesI cannot get the back cup holder section out. It seems like it's held on there good. I removed the little coin tray and don't see anything and took out the sliding cup holder as well. What am I doing wrong?
View 2 RepliesI have a 2012 Prius V, and somehow A tin of Altoids has fallen behind the drawer, (hidden drawer) of the center console. How to remove the drawer to access behind it?
I can't see any catch or release to trigger releasing the drawer. I also think accessing it by opening up the whole console from the top is risky as the EV, ECO, and PWR mode buttons are wired into it.
How do you remove the armrest storage part of the center console? Ive undone the two screws by the shifter and the whole thing shakes but it doesn't come out...
2011 se by the way.
In the process of wrapping my center console in carbon fiber, have become stuck at this step here. How does the big button come off that selects Eco/normal/sport s/s+. ? The button does not slide through the bottom, like the snow and traction buttons, it is too wide. So it has to come off at the top, but how?
View 2 RepliesI need to change my rear brakes on my 2010 Matrix. According to my Haynes repair manual, I first need to loosen the hand brake cable which is found under the center console. My problem is, is that I can't figure out how to remove the center console!!! The instructions in the Haynes repair manual for removal of the center console are for 2008 and earlier Matrix models.

View 6 RepliesI'm going to be hard wiring a protech cell phone mount at the center vents. I'd like to run a clean install, and ideally tap into the existing 12v socket next to the shifter. It looks like I'll need to take a fair amount apart.
View 2 RepliesIt been a few days since I heard this extrange noise behind my center console, its very hard to describe, I though it was the CD exchanger of my radio unit but its not, sound similar. Has this ever happened to you before?
View 3 RepliesMy R is an earlier model with the Aux-in in the glovebox. I cannot think of a more inconvenient place to put an aux in cable which is why they change it I am sure. I would like to reroute the existing one or at least add an extender cable from the glove box to one of the unused buttons near the ash tray.

View 1 RepliesIs there a better option to the standard MDI insert in the centre console? I was sure I'd seen a photo of an insert that kept the MDI but didn't waste then entire console. Am I just crazy? I mean come on, it doesn't even fit an iPhone very well. I have to put the phone in head first and then bend the cable flat to close the arm rest...
View 2 RepliesAs stated in title, it stays open half way. I was thinking just converting it to none lid one since I always keep it open, and I believe the non closing one would hold more items?
View 2 RepliesAbout a week ago I noticed this weird noise that sounds like it's coming from inside of the center vents area/console.
The noise definitely only occurs when moving, or at least it seems that way. At idle there is no sound. The sound seems to get a little louder the faster I go.
It's kind of a "whirring" sound. It's not really loud and if someone that had never been in the car were driving they probably wouldn't even notice it. It almost sounds as if I have the heating/ac fan turned up high but I don't. The sound appears even if I have the heat/ac fan off.The heat/ac works fine.
It may have nothing to do with the heat/ac but I'm wondering if something could have got stuck in the vents from outside?
I just started observing this today. The center console cover often refuses to rise up when depressed to unlock . If I try about 10 - 20 times, while using the other hand to facilitate swinging around the hinge, it eventually co-operates. I removed the MDI connector to be sure it wasn't causing the issue
