Two wire loops , actually "U"'s that plug into the holes on left and right side. One of these days I'm going get those. Just did this a few days ago, needed to test my blower switch. Removed console so you can get at the two screws on bottom of the center trim panel that the radio and the Hvac controls are on. I normally can get it out with short tools 3-4inch phillips/torx ended that will push into the holes. By pushing outwards (away from the center of the radio) that pushes the spring clips away from the edge of the trim panel.
Well it would not budge!
End pulling the whole trim panel out and disconnecting the wiring.etc. Even with panel out on my bench I still could not get but one side of the to let go.
finally after dozens of different tries it came out. I think the spring clips distorted just enough, this has been a pain ever since some bean counter came up this design. At 60 the gut(it's really not that big either) and no-line bli-focals all add to my distaine for automotive interiors.
