It's actually very easy to take the console apart. I haven't yet, but I've taken the radio, navigation unit, and subwoofer out so I've run into a couple things (see photo). You'll find your way as you remove some of the interior pieces.
(#1)Pull up on both sides of the back seat and it will come right out.
(#2)The rear storage compartment has a panel just pull it out.
(#3)Push the seat heater control with your thumb and pull it out.
(#4)Pull the center console wood up and out at an angle.
(#5)There are a couple screws and fasteners left around the dash.
Just go slow, take your time and you'll see what you need to remove as you go along.
