Ok so i got my heated seats in today and im maping out the spot for the switch and need some recon help! My question is how does one take the center console out/is it needed to come out for the location that i want to put the switch? Question 2 will it fit there ok and not be i the way of the shifters/the wires wont have any problems? here is a pic of where i was thinking of dropping the switch in! (note mine is a standard also)

The center console is in 2 pieces. The top piece looks like this.

It just attaches with push in style clips. You can see them in this picture, they are white and there are seven of them

You just have to pull it apart with some force. Look where the clips are in the picture and try to pull in that area.

To completely remove it you will need to take t case knob off.

The only issue I see with putting the switch there is the passenger would have to reach or lean over into your comfort zone to turn their seat on. I was looking at fabricating a bracket that will go below the arm rest. Looks like there is a removable section already there and away from the 4wd lever.

The hardest part is trying to get it started. I think I actually grabbed one of the sides and gave it a good pull as I could get my hand under that. You have to pull hard but not too hard to break it.

Here is another good location

I have also seen people put them in on the sides oft hat console panel so each person has them on their own side and they aren't on top to drop stuff on.

That section looks removable because there is a split line. But it is plastic "welded" together and doesn't come apart as best I can see.

No problem. It isn't too bad to get off. Its just that feeling you get yanking on plastic. Feels like you are pulling harder that you really are. Once it gives it pops right off.

To get t case knob off same thing, just pull on it. Its just a press fit, pull and it will come off.
