Yes, I apologize, I have been slammed at work for months.

The easiest way to be honest, is to remove as many panels as possible. If you don't have a trim tool and torx bits, go down to the auto parts store and buy them.

Videos or how to’s that make removing panels easier:
Removing Center Console:
https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...eplacement.htm
Remove Center Trim:
2 caps, Phillips screws at bottom
2 threaded expanding rivits under opening
Now put the top up
Remove top trim piece to reveal
2 T30 Torx under top trim
Under the door:
2 T15 torx bits under impossible to remove trim piece under the door.
Unclip top white wire connector.
Pull lower trim out to sides (near where you removed the cap/screws)
Lift straight up on trim. Try not to cry as old hard plastic trim panel clips break.
Disconnect any other wiring connectors (SOS/Phone/etc)
Put top back down.
Slide out lower cubby.
Get 4 small Phillips screwdrivers (about the size of the largest eye glass repair screwdrivers). Push into the 4 holes on the navi DVD player. Alternatively they make “c” shaped adapters for removing older car stereos. All you are trying to do is to push the retaining tabs in so you can pull the player out.
Reach under the DVD drive and slide it forward till it comes out. May require a little effort.
Push down on blue connector to release it.
