Console Door Eats Things
I had something flat laying on the sliding little wood console door with the sync badge and it got sucked forward under the door and is gone. Any idea of how you can get access to under the console without a complete removal?

I saw an earlier thread about that a few months ago. I dont know if you tried searching first. People lost credit cards and licenses. If Im not mistaken there was a solution or two in there.

Yeah, I've read about this before - apparently it's a huge PITA. Most people have to take the whole console apart to get to it. I've seen a couple cases where people took apart the APIM and climate controls and tried to reach it from above.

Easier to remove the dash panel, console panel and HVAC controls and reach in. You "might" be able to unlatch the glove box door and reach thru and behind, but if it's a card I highly doubt it.

Pull the side console panels off, one or both. They are attached with screws and clips.
Get your self a set of flexible fingers used for grabbing stuff. They usually have 3 flexible metal prongs.
Use this to grab whatever you dropped. This is easier then doing a complete disassembly of the console so you can get your hand in it.
