Rear Entertainment System Removal: I honestly wouldn't recommend removing this system unless you have patience and/or really don't want the system. It was very frustrating trying to figure this out as there isn't much information out there on it's removal. In the end, it actually is not a hard removal, just very time consuming. The center console needs to be broken down almost 85% to remove the entertainment bracket. I think I was about 6-8 bolts away from being able to literally take the entire center console out of the vehicle. I really did not want the system, as I would hit my elbow constantly when the screen was down and it just takes up room.
References:
- This YT video for breakdown of the center console was helpful - is not in english and they do not have the rear entertainment system so it was only helpful to a certain point.
