I didn't find the guide so I thought it could be helpful. Sorry if it already exists!
Removing the center console:
- pull out the bottom bit, there are 2 clips holding it in place (bottom two green circles)
- take out the headunit and the plastic “shelf” under it
- undo 7 torx 15 screws (red arrows)
- pull the console towards you, there are 3 clips holding it on (the rest of the green circles)
- unclip the connectors for the rear window heaters and the repeaters
- undo the 2 more torx screws holding the AC to the console (yellow arrows)
- the console should be free now
Taking out the air vents:
- for the side vents:
- put a screwdriver between the plastic circles (that you probably want to replace) and simply try to force them out bit by bit, without breaking them
- for the center vents:
- disassemble the center console (as the picture above)
- there are 4 clips holding the entire vent in the console
- push the clips from inside (put your hand through the hole for the center panel) and
you will be able to simply pull out the whole vent.
- the center bit on the vents (on/off “switch”) is just pulled out from the vent if you want to take that apart too...
