Hey! Just got in my CAI! w00t w00t! but yea... I have 3 Gagues just chillin here at my house and I wanna put em in, I got the mesh and all but even though I have searched this whole forum 300 times I cant figure out how to get the center console out.



Do I have to take out.............. everything?



Edit: Sorry about topic name and stuff I just got home from vacation and my mom walked in and was all like I havnt seen you for a week and you just sit on the computer lol... so yea i forgot I was starting a topic....

Here is the pic..

center console.. meaning, the whole center piece (from between the seats to the top of the radio?) or just the radio trim and shift bezel?

[xXManwhoreXx]

I know I need to take out the part around the radio and probally the center console too, but its a daily driver so i am going to drive it with the center peice off lol! so yea I need it out with keeping as much in as possible.

[cherrington17]

thats no problem.... take the crap outta the cubby, long with the rubber insert.

There is a small staple on the front side of the shifter, take that out. The shifter will lift right off. then the plastic piece under the shifter will just pull right up. (from the base of the cubby, back to the cup holder behind the shifter) just pulls straight up. at that point, you should be able to reach just under the cubby, just grab the bottom of that cubby, and pull straight back, it'll all unclip.

just make sure to remove the wires, and remember where/how they were plugged in...

and your car is completely driveable w/o those two center pieces. you'll just have a little white nylon nub to push down in order to shift.

I love you thanks ill do it right now

I got out the shift plate thing but when I pull on the cubby thing (which is the whole center piece around the stereo and all) it feels like its screwed in or smothing, or just held in really well... should I like yank on it or somthing cause I dont have money to fix it... lol just want to double check before I put my feet on either side of it to yank it out.




I don't know where these 2 diagonal lines came from... gay Paint lol...

top corners first work down the sides

[cherrington17]

i've done it so many times i could do this with my eyes closed now..


i just pull out from the cubby, and as the bottom pops out, move your hands up on the trim. and keep yanking. lol

i don't get what you're doing

You have "3 gauges" and "mesh" and you need to take out the center console for some reason.

[meadus101]

He's going to mount gauges in the cubby. and Mesh it in so he doesn't collect dirt behind them i would assume.



I personally found it easier to remove the trim and cubby starting from the top. I used my key actually... My bad..... Just get something smooth and flat you can use to pop the first clip... then it'll work fine... just be careful not to damage the Vynil. You'll do fine. it's really easy.

just get something flat behind the trim and pry it off. there are 2 clips at the very top tho that i always take first because the trim cracks if u take the bottom ones out first.

I'm actually doing yaleroynots cubby gague thing, the fabric stuff if for the fiberglass to stick to...
