Iain,

As has been noted "it's only a plastic box". However, it does what I want in as much as it gives some storage hidden space in the car for stuff like the iPod I keep in the car etc. Here is a very poor photo I have of it in place which may or may not help.

It is a five minute job to install. Lever out the rubber mat in the tray, sit the box in and put the long screw (self tapper) in the hole in the middle of the box, Put the rubber mat in the bottom of the box - job done.

Like I said, I put one in more for the usefulness of hidden storage rather than and aesthetic appeal or use as an armrest.

had a look this morning re installation.

as I thought, I don't have a rubber mat in the tray, it's a small cubby hole with a sliding lid ?

In the base of the cubby hole Iain, is there a mat, if so there will be a single screw underneath holding the cubby in place, take this out and replace with the new armrest cubby.

thanks taz, had another look and there is a rubber mat at the base of the cubby hole.

I notice there is an auxiliary power socket next to the cubby, I take it the new cubby would render this out of use ?

No the new cubby will allow use of the socket, here is the one in my car albeit a lowly GS without armrests.

The one I fitted does not have a sliding lid, but you don't need it if you have armrests. There is plenty of room for plugging stuff in the sockets as has ben said. Here is a pic I have posted before, showing how I use the storage box for use with my Ipod which is permanently wired in. Works well!
