I had my center console trim off to get access to my gear shifter, but when I took the trim off the little metal clips that hold the trim in position fell into the center console. How can I get access into it to get the clips out ?

have you tried a magnet to fish out the clips? Either one of the telescopic ones, or even just a magnet taped to some kite string so you can fish around. Good luck!

Yeah I tried fishing for it with a long skewer with sticky tape on the end of it, but was demented after 90 mins. Is it possible to get the rear vents off and get access in that way ? I had a look but could not figure out how to get it off ?

Yes, rear vents come off, they are tricky though. One of the iPod DIY threads has pdf's of how to remove them.
