Theres two bolts where the console meets the dash.
Have to remove the shift ****.
Possible to remove the coil holder in the arm rest console.

True, ...
1) Remove two bolts where the console meets the dash.
2) Remove the shift ****.
Set Parking Brake, pull lever back to 1 or 2. Pull retainer out with a small pick or screwdriver from the front of the ****. Pull up/off ****.
3) Remove the coin holder by pulling straight up. Remove two screws that were hidden under there.

Pull upper section of the console off.
Make sure you unplug the lighting & stuff that you find connected under the console.

I didn't have screws where it meets the dash, I think there are slots that it sits in......
