    You should need to remove these. IIRC. Only the two rear side ones near the seat rails.

    I just used an RJ45 wall socket one from Middy's and adapted it to the panel below the dash and glued the front bit on, so its flush.

    Yeah But that area is full on my Patrol, but yes its a RJ45 panel mount with two screws.
    I have a remote head UHF so everything is hidden,
    I'll be leaving the Mike in the glovebox until needed.
    I do have that Baintech USB outlet in the same position, but not sure Ill be leaving it there.
    Going to re think how it all goes, have most of the bits and bobs to do it,
    but dont want leads or wires getting crossed over, going to put another USB outlet on the back of the console
    as well

    Yeah that Baintech USB socket is crap. Useless for charging as its only 1amp. My tablet and phone will still go flat when plugged into it. Need a minimum of 2amp these days. Something else to change....

    I'm trying to do this to get to the back of the centre console so I can mount my new UHF there. I've removed the first bit undid the screws mentioned but it still seems to be held in by something. Any ideas? Looks like someones tried to staple the base I can see two divets with what looks like staples in them, its the only thing I can think off thats still holding the centre console in place.
