  Q: How to remove the Center Console on Volvo V50?

  A:

  To remove the console, first set the handbrake and push the gear lever into neutral, being careful to have the front seats completely down and the battery negative terminal disconnected. For early models, use a flat bladed tool to carefully lift the handbrake lever gaiter and then pull the panel in front of the centre console backwards to release clips. Depress the catch on the corners of the audio panel and pull it backwards, and then push the Infotainment Control Module from the console and disconnect the wiring plugs. Next, lift the cigarette lighter/power outlet panel and disconnect the wiring, undo the screws holding the centre panel and unclip the gaiter of the gear lever before removing the panel. Unclip the panel under the center armrest and undo the retaining screws and remove the screws at the front of the console. Lift the back of the console and unconnect the wiring for the back ashtray/power socket and then maneuver the centre console out of the car. For later models, start by removing the lower facia panel and unclip the handbrake lever gaiter, remove the audio panel by depressing the catch and pulling the panel forwards. To do this push the Infotainment Control Module backwards and disconnect the wiring, open up the centre armrest to reach and undo the screws. Remove the screws at the front of the console and around the audio module, and use a flat-bladed tool to lift the storage tray and cut panel around the handbrake lever. Lift the clip that is exposed by the storage tray removal and slide the lower console towards the back undoing the screws behind the gear lever. Disconnect the wiring plugs at the back of the climate control panel and between the air vent trunking, which allows the console to be withdrawn. Refitting is done by the reverse order.
