Center Console "trap"

[budy]

I have depostied more that a few things inside the console where the drink holder is. Is there any way to get to the "inerts" of that thing without taking it to a body shop?

get a trim removal tool(or a flat head screwdriver with black tape on the tip) and take out the wood panel in the center, remember to put the gear all the way back to 2 and have the parking brake on so the panel will come out then you should have access to all the things that fell in there.

You might want to first post in the correct section. Your car model lists ES330, this is the LS400/430 section.

As such the console design is a bit different from what we're used to, but I'm sure the cupholder is secured with screws that are covered by trim somewhere.
