I am trying to remove the center console from my 2012 tsx. Does anyone know how, have pictures or video or even better yet the service manual pages? Thanks!!!

 

Search before asking~
There's a sticky at the top for a reason

Here you go

 

I did search before asking and couldn't find anything. This is my first post and not sure what he sticky means nor could I see your link. Thanks!!

 

I tried to take my center console out of my 2012 TSX, using one of the guides written on here. It was a really well written guide but I ended up breaking one of the clips. The guide was written for a 2009/10 non SE so maybe my 2012 A-spec was different. Pretty much there was a part on the guide where it said grab and pull straight up as hard as you can and so I did...haha. Gave up on the project and still have yet to install my short shifter.

 

A-Specs built differently...LOL proof right thuuuur.

 

Yoo that short shifter is a BIHHHHHHH

 

If all else fails, go to eautorepair.com and pay like $12.00 for a subscription to Mitchells. This on line system has everything there is to know about the TSX. Every wiring diagram, every procedure for removing and repairing and you can print each section for future use. I love it.

 

lift up the ashtray and lighter doors, then grap the cupholder door and pull straight up

 

"NOT AN ASHTRAY"a

 

do you need to remove the sides first? Or that's it?

THX

 

if you need to remove the not an ashtray unit, then you need to remove the passenger strip, then the 2 center rails

There's one screw under the "non-ashtray" pocket and then it pulls up and out

The passenger trim pulls forward and out exposing one screw, and there are 2 screws under the
shifter bezel which hold the center rails

 

Thanks! I plan on replacing the tsx 2010 navi with the 2011. this will help a lot.

 

what's the difference between the 10-11 navi if you don't mind me asking?

 

Grid lines on reverse cam, better resolution,
Better color. Sure there's more as well

 

HDD based instead of DVD too iirc

 

oh yeah there's a hard drive instead of a cd changer
