The centre console is a 2 part compartment.
1. The section where hand-brake is
2. Back section where arm compartment is.

You need to remove the back section first for the front to come out.
back section has 5 screws, 2 near front of seats, 2 near back of seats, 1 inside arm compartment.

Once this is removed, the front section is held together by 2 more screws at front and 2 clips located near the stereo area, where the console joins the dash.

You need to pull down and out to dislodge the clips.

easy!
