How to Remove the Centre Console of an Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Center console tunnel

To remove the centre console of an Audi A3, you need some plastic levers to unclip the fastening clips of the various components.

This will allow the entire centre console to disengage: to complete the removal, disconnect all connectors. Once the old piece is removed, you can proceed with the replacement.
