Console Removal

I'm trying to remove the console to repair my stuck in park problem. I've removed all screws, ashtrays, etc. and while it is, it will only slightly pull away from the surrounding dash. Does the navigation stay and switches come out together with the console? Need some help from someone who's done this before.

Console is out. It is just kind of tricky doing so.

Well, I just moving it around and it finally came out. Stuck in park is the reason for pulling it. I then was able to get my shifter out for repair for the stuck in park problem. i got it fixed and now I've just have to put everything back. Hopefully the console does not give me too much trouble.

Time and heat I guess. I'm done with the repair of shifter but am now having a problem with console wiring with 4 wires I can't find a home for. I going to do a post now with pics of these and hopefully someone can help me with them.
