Centerconsole should now be loose. Lift in rear, pull gently backwards to unclip the 3 connectors behind the HVAC controller. Note the blue connector. First pull the black clip out 1/4" and then pull out blue connector from socket.

Remove connector from ASC(+T) button and other buttons that might be present in the centerconsole.

Remove the electrical window switches connectors from the bottom of the centerconsole. This is tricky. Be carefull not to break the connectors. The wires are short.

Assembly

Reverse of disassembly. Take care to connect all connectors. Can be tricky to match the 10mm bolts to the dashboard.

Also tricky to mate the 10mm centerbolt in the console to the floor. You might want to start with this, as the clip under falls easily out as the console moves back and forth.
