There is one bolt (10mm) i think, one under the radio and 2 in the deep end of the back of the console.

There is also one in the middle just behind the shifter. The one in the front is hidden by a cover (round). They are all 10mm.

If it is the type with the sliding door on the console, make sure the ignition is on, but engine off, and press the button under the handle at the back of the console (the handle separates the two sections of the console) and this will release an electronic lock and this moves the console back and forth. The diagnostic socket is also under here!
