I've searched and I've posted up in the interior section but no one's answering. Anyone have a step by step (preferably with pictures but if not no biggy) walkthrough of how to take apart the center console so that I can get to the VDC module under the coin tray? Thanks!

Ok, it's VERY easy. Here's the only pic you need:


Your console may differ slightly, as did mine. But it's just a difference of a few screws.

First you remove the shift **** trim panel by grabbing the ring under the boot in the rear behind the shifter, and then pulling back and slightly up. When it pops loose (comes very easily) lift upwards and gently away as there are connectors. Disconnect the plugs for the HVAC and other controls if you want more freedom to move the trim panel. If you want to remove it completely you have to take off the shift ****.

Once that is done you will have exposed two screws on the front of the center console. The outer-most screws are the ones you want. (Screws #1 in the image, shown as the two outer screws on the front of the console.)

Then you'll want to remove the two screws (again, labeled #1 in the image) in the rear of the center console, on the outside panels. These two screws are obscured by the seat lumbar, so you will have to move both seats full forward.

Once these four screws are removed the console lifts back and then turn upwards from the rear, always supporting the rear behind the center glove box. If you let go of the rear behind the glove, then it will slip right back into place and possible damage something. Again, go gently when lifting as there are connectors to the seat heater switches, etc.

If you want to completely remove the center console then I believe all you need to do is unplug the connectors and lift it out, taking care not to mar the e-brake handle.

Hope that helps
