Cannot remove center console. I removed the CD player and insert along with the 4 bolts below it. I pulled back the side caps along the outside bottom and removed the hidden 2 screws on both side. I disconnected the battery and pulled shifter back to drive. I removed the shifter knob and also the trim panel under it. The center console has a black plastic duct that runs through it providing air to back seat area.

Hi,

It sounds like you did everything. I attached the directions and pics below specific to removal. Take a look through them and see if anything was missed.

Let me know.

Yes, I got it off. It was stuck on the right middle lower bolt area. Had to pull out the lower middle side of console and pull it back to release it.
