anyone retro fitted a front armrest?
x5pea:
i got an arm rest with an interior i bought and fitted it my self, pretty easy i didnt bother with the ducting as it wasnt present when i fitted mine. There isnt a lot of room in there tbh, presume you would have to remove the centre console which is a bit of a pain the first time you do it as theres a load of hidden screws , defo worth reading the how to on vortex.

If Vw are charging upto £1000 to fit. Then £200 seems like a bargain.
I've seen pictures of the install to get rear vents working and the car looks
a mess during the process. I didn't want to take on such a job. Its upto 4 hours to do i read somewhere.
And knowing my luck something would get broken. If you've got leather you need to by the armrest pad separately.

i think the leather is also another £80
so even just for armrest (not connecting rear vents) is close to £300 in parts

It's rapidily becoming an expensive retro fit.. :sad:
