04' Ls 430 Center Console Removal

[jpilk99]

Hi folks.

I've seen pdf's and pictures before on how to take off the couple of pastic covers in the center console & shifter to be able to get down underneath to the audio wiring. I'm selling car and need to remove the DICE ipod adapter that's plugged in by the CD wiring. Any help is appreicated.

Thanks,

Jay

Here are instructions for the LS430 on Pro.Fit's website: http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/Adobe/MV-50-03-L-p18.pdf

The instructions are for installing one of their brackets but maybe it will be enough for you.

Thanks, but, I actually need help just getting the plastic cosmetic covers off of the shifter base and then that whole plastic cover underneath the shifter base - where the ashtray sits into. Any ideas? I've seen nice step-by-step photos but ofcourse can't find em' now :-).

Do these same instructions apply to a 1999 LS? If not, can someone post istructions for me? Much appreciated.......

Its probably easer on a 95-98 LS400. The provide website has instructions for the LS400 too: http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/Adobe/MV-50-03-L-p19.pdf

I've popped the radio in my 00 LS400 out a number of times -- takes about five minutes once you get the hang of it. After you remove the center air vents and the wood console/ashtray assembly, only four 10 mm bolts hold the radio/HVAC controls in place.

Thanks for the reply - HOWEVER, I need the instructions for the removal of the shifter trim ONLY, if anyone can help......Thanks
