Brom will have your answer I'm sure, btw the sliding arm rest is pretty poor design, it clashes with the hand brake so it's not something you can slide forward and leave there, you have to purposely pull it out each time you start off.

Maybe a dumb question but, is the sliding armrest only on European models?

Thanks.

No such thing as dumb questions. My US car has a sliding arm rest.

AFAIK the sliding armrest is only linked to the bluetooth option, otherwise you must order it separately. It is a complete waste of time anyway as it is too low, has to be slid back to access the handbrake, and has almost no padding making it fairly uncomfortable. I find that I leave it "closed" and tend to use the the lhs of the centre console to rest my arm.

DD - I ordered it - but never use it. It's a pain to keep sliding back and forth since it retracts when you use the handbrake.
An armrest is well worthwhile on an auto - but this thing isn't really an armrest .

Looking forward to seeing your pics up here soon!

Looks like the sliding armrest, despite being useless is a coupled option with advanced aircon (ie all usa cars would have it)

thanks all
