You have to remove the middle armrest and the two covers and then the cup holder. After that you are able to remove the console.

Open the hood of the vehicle and keep it open. Prey out the four retainer clips located at each corner of the console. Remove both screws from the cup holder and slide it forward until it comes free from the console. Unplug the electrical connectors for air conditioning and the radio, and then lift the console out of the car.
