Unless you have very deformed small hands you can do it without taking out the center consol and rear consol.

1) Remove Center Console
2) Reach under radio and remove the two retaining screws (this was the hard part because there is this bar in the way and the screws in mine were very very tight and i had no leverage)
3) pull radio out and unplug the stuff connected to it

The steps to removing the center console are as follows:
1) remove shift knob
2) pull out ash tray and remove all bolts in there that you see, this will remove the cig lighter.
3) Un screw the 3 or 4 screws on each side of the center console by the driver side and passenger feet
4) use a flat head screwdriver to pop open teh cover in teh little holder where the E-Brake handle is and remove the screws
5) remove the screws in the very back on each side of the rear center console, you have to move seats forward to do this
6) self explanatory from here

might sound complicated but i have no idea if there is an easier way, take an hour max
