How to dismantle the center console in the Volvo XC70?

Model: Volvo Xc70 MK 3 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Dashboard

In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the center console in the Volvo XC70, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, let's make sure that the key is not inserted. Then, we unclip the CD player frame, unscrew the two screws that are now exposed, open the armrest, and remove the two rubber caps. Next, we unscrew the two additional screws, remove the base of the gear lever, and continue by unscrewing all the remaining fastening screws. At this point, all that is left is to separate the console from the dashboard, disconnect the various connectors, and install the replacement parts by following the reverse procedure.
