Mazda RX-8 How to Remove the Center Console

I think there are many people who want to remove the RX-8 center console.

• Want to add more heat insulating material to take measures against heat
• Want to pass the wiring through this
• Want to change the color of the light at the shift (AT)
• Want to put an LED in the drink holder
• Want to pick up the money that fell in the back of the ashtray

Well, regardless of the reason, I will show you how to remove it. First, remove the lid between the back seats and remove the lower screw.

Next, remove the screws inside the drink holder.

The shift knob can be removed by turning it counterclockwise. After removing the shift knob, lift the lower panel. It takes a little force, but don’t be afraid to remove it slowly.

When the panel comes off, one screw will appear. Remove this.

Then, the back half can be completely removed. It is an integrated type.

Next, remove the ashtray part.

Then, two screws will come out again, so remove them.

You can remove it by moving it back a little and lifting it up.

It’s easy!
That’s it.
