In my signature just below there's a link to the thread I wrote up for the install of my system. Included in there are instructions for removing the console. I haven't done an '08 so I'm not sure how that leather-looking trim attaches, I assume it's attached to the console trim piece. Since I know people have put the '08 console trim in prior model years my guess is the procedure is the same.

You have a bunch of screws to remove and a terrifying pull of the console trim that you will hate, but it's what has to be done.

After that it's just removing the screws holding the radio in and disconnecting wires.

the 08 is similar, but you will need to twist the ring below the shifter (i don't think 05-07's you had to twist) to get the boot to come down to expose the bolt holding the shifter **** on. Other than that, it is the same thing as previous years.
