remove center floor console

[ed294]

Does anyone have any experience on removing the center floor console?!? I am trying to get to the CD changer wires that are underneath my transmission shifter. I have no idea why they put them underneath there but any tips/suggestions/instructions would be appreciated.

i think i have found some of the screws before, you may need to remove most of the dash stuff first around the radio and under the steering wheel and the glove box to get to the screws for it, not 100% sure but thats a start

Welcome to TGC! i dont have any pics on the topic, but i do know its easy as hell, its pretty common sense. Start by taking the gear shifter off, pop the piece of thats around the shifter. Then, open the console and take those screws out that are in the bottom. After that you should be about there just pull it out! I think there might be another screw or two after that.

shit what i said was the total oppisite way lol! now i remember those screws when painting my interior black,

yea, there are 2 screws that hold it down. they are under the rubber mat under the arm rest

[99 galant]

yea once you take that part out you have to take more screws out if he wants to take the whole thing out

i dont remember where all the screws are but you have to take out the shifter assemblly, as well as the area with the ashtray or cubby depending on your year (once you get off the shifter bezel you just pull it and it will pop off, i know that there are at least 2 screws toward the front near the shifter and a few in the back, just look underneath and you should see where they all are, its pretty straight forward

hopefully we all helped ya :)

yeah
in addition to the ones under the armrest, there are two screws at the front near the ashtray. I know this cause i broke them trying to pull the console out after removing only the two under the armrest.

took us long enough to all get it for him lol but hey we did it :wink:

ok thanks guys, I got the console removed and to my surprise the CD changer stuff was not under there. So I am going to remove the factory head unit and see if the CD changer stuff is behind there. I am having problems with my reception going in and out and I am sure it has something to do with my CD changer. Any tips on removing the head unit would be appreciated!!!

arent CD changers in the trunk?

[ed294]

true, mine is in the trunk but I am talking about the parts that you have to hook up to the radio like the fm modulator and the the attenna switch box

take the faceplate off and unscrew the radio out? not too sure there, mine was pioneer when i bought it

too bad the idiots didnt put in pioneer speakers too, i been riding stock and they starting to sound like shit
