Yes i watched it too now and i see it's not that bad. I'd love to see what is hiding under there anyway.
I never knew there was a trap door at the bottom of the console compartment.
With this fix i will also be able to get a look at the wire size used for the OBDII connector which has been a question i had on my mind for some time now.

Thanks.
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.

Will be very interesting. It's sort of like a hobby with me now. It's too bad i have to go down two flights of stairs to work on it though that's a real pain in the neck. If you forget something, back up two flights to get it then back down again.
