This is a completely ambiguous thread, console removal is not required etc then the console becomes just ‘it’ or is that something else?
The AC controls can stay in place, the radio, large bezel and the ash tray assembly are removed. A portion of the console is sawn off.
The ash tray module is a ***** to remove and is easier if the paddle shifter kit has been installed and the four bolts removed.

​I have made two double din bezels using OEM bezels cut and joined so I think I know how to fit a double din bezel and radio. It takes two OEM radio bezels and a custom piece to make the radio and switch bezel in one piece plus a custom part to butt against the gearshift module. Plus the mods to the window switch bezel.
My last bezel was in one piece without that poor joint like that between the two bezels of the AOZ double din printed parts. I fitted the cigarette lighter and the passenger air bag lights in the window switch bezel.
Failing to incorporate the passenger seat bag light could be very dangerous to the passenger or a baby in a baby seat, the first for not knowing the air bag was disabled and the baby because it was enabled. Big lawsuits could result from this and the seller says it would cost too much to change now. 🙄
