Cup holders and gear surround need removed and unplug heated seat switches if equipped also gear knob needs removed. Should be two bolts in there and another two behind a cover that pulls off at the rear of console between rear footwells.
Should be two black Philips screws underneath where cup holder surround was at the base of the driver and passenger silver trim. Once these screws are removed the silver trims can be pulled off they have a number of red clips holding them in just work your way along. Not sure if they need to come off though i can't remember. In the driver and passenger footwells pull off the black trim next to where your clutch foot would be and passengers right foot would be and there is one or two screws for the black pocket then pull out pockets. Unplug the usb aux and 12v socket plugs. And if you have back passenger vents then the ducts need to be removed they have black clips that need to be removed by pulling centre pin out first.
After this the whole centre console including armrest should just come off by sliding it back and up if I've not forgotten anything. Let me know which gear knob you have is it an Es, EsGt, Ex, ExGt or type S as the gear knobs are removed differently
