been trying to remove it myself. Thought it'd come right out after removing the HU and the entire console.. but it didn't.

The TWM SS installation instructions show you how:

-Remove inner tray in ash tray compartment and remove cigarette lighter.
-Tilt the ashtray lid half way open so you can slide you fingers in there.
-Start from the left and slowly ease/yank the left side out (is only held by clips)
-Right side is a bit trickier, with fingers still in the gap, slide over to the right side and put a finger/thumb into the cig ligter to get a better grip and ease/yank it..

There you have it..

ya, remove your cd player first, then looking at the top of the hvac controls on the left and right sides there is a cable, one on each side, that goes back into the dash, you have to follow those back, they will connect to a white wheel looking thing all you must do is pull the cable off the wheel and out of its sheeth lock, on both sides, then i forget if there was a screw or two on the bottom but after that they should pop right out, thats all it took when i had my P5, oh ya there is an electric plug in the middle that you must unplug also....hope this helped.
