Default 03-05 and 06-08 center console interchangeable?

Hey guys,

My question is this - my car was recently broken into and I gotta replace my center console (the one holding the triple guage on top by the dash) and possibly the lower console piece by the shift **** too.

If I were to buy BOTH pieces from an 06 - and get the new AC module box as well as new AC control ***** - would all of that bolt onto my existing center armrest piece that extends all the way behind the seat?

If that's not clear enough I can post some pics to illustrate. Thanks!

Alvin

As far as I know, the pieces aren't interchangeable. I think the stereo sits a little different on the 03-05 model so the 06 pieces won't fit around it. I could be wrong though.

Basically, I want to replace the top piece, the shift **** surround, AC control *****, and AC module (the white box that controls the AC system) all with 06+ pieces

I'm just wondering if all of those pieces would line up with the 03-05 armrest [the long black plastic piece that has the cup holders and extends all the way back behind the seat]

If it is possible, it looks like it would take some modifications. In my opinion it doesn't seem worth it. Look at post #6 and you'll see what I mean

'03-'05



'06-'08

I would think everything would fit as long as you have the center piece that goes between the seats. Since the shifter surround is square vs rounded on the newer interior. Just have to figure out the ac.

Be prepared to deal with the relocation of the hazard button as well.

Yep, you have to change all for proper fit.
I did try to keep the 03 slide up cubby for the oem nav screen.
However, I decided on the eclipse with removable tomtom.
