Removing the console between the front seats?

Center Console

Here's what I've found regarding removing center console from 2018 Odyssey. Remove bottom panels from the shelf in front of the pull out drawer and inside thee closed glove box in the console. There are tabs to pull these out with (see pictures). Once these are out you'll see 2 bolts in each area. Use a 10mm socket to remove the bolts. I just loosened mine for now and was able to move my center console around. Assume you'll be able to remove the console. Hope this helps

Hi Smitty4UK. I have a simpler issue. Credit cards have slid under the drawer. How can the drawer be removed? Thanks for the pics. I think I will tackle the Carplay cable in the near future.

Did you ever get an answer to this?

Hi Mark, I had the same issue.
If you pull the drawer out there are 4 Phillips Head screws (two each side) on the inside of the drawer. Un-screw them and then you can lift/remove the drawer off of the sliding rails and get access to underneath.
5 minute job sorted.
Good luck

Last night I finally tackled my #1 to do on my 2018. I drilled a hole in the inside of the console and ran a lightning cable behind the trim up to the dash so I can use CarPlay with a dash phone mount. I had to loosen (not completely remove) the center console. There are 2 bolts in the console and 2 in the tray area up front. (Where the drawer pulls out) I took me a while to get the rubber mat out on the front part and then when I was putting it back I realized there is a grab tab on the driver side up near the front.

I didn't get a great picture of under the console but you can still see a little:

It is not going to be real easy to remove the console completely. It appeared there was a disconnect on the passenger side for the wiring to the console, but the way the trim is all connected into the dash would make it difficult. It is also going to look extremely raw.

I also really want to remove it out however it’s pretty hard to me. Omg... l have already tried so many different ways and it’s not working even my hands almost totally done.
