CRITICAL:  Read these instructions completely before doing anything to your car. You will need the following tools: Philips head screwdriver

Begin by removing the cassette holder.  Pull straight up.  If you have a black plastic storage bin in front of the cassette holder, it must also be removed.  To do so, pull straight up and it will come out.  There should be two small brackets underneath the storage bin, and it must also be removed.  The brackets will be held in place with one Philips head screw.  

Figure 1. 2 philips head screws shown circled.  Remove these. The storage bin is shown in place.  Pull straight up to remove it.

After the center console is completely empty, you can begin to install the Mark2 Armrest.

Figure 2. Center console shown completely empty.

The front edge of the coinholder-cupholder has a plastic tab. This tab mates with a slot that is in your center console behind the hazard light button. Drop the front edge of the coinholder-cupholder in before the back edge. Make sure the tab on the coinholder-cupholder goes into the slot on your center console. After the tab is mated, drop the back edge of the coinholder-cupholder down into the recess in your center console. The unit will sit flush.

A properly installed Mark2 Armrest will look like this:

Figure 4. Coinholder-cupholder should sit flush on center console

It is critical that the armrest sits flush with the center console. Open the Mark2 Armrest and expose the storage area. If the storage area of your coinholder-cupholder has a carpeted floor, remove the carpeting. There is one philips head screw that fits into a hole on the floor of the storage area. Install the screw. You're done!
