Consoles Armrest For TOYOTA 86 GT86 / Subaru Brz Center Dual Storage Box for Scion FR-S 2012-2020 (Red Stitches)

The product is very nice and should have been included from Subaru/Toyota.I ordered the black with red stitching and it matches the interior of my BRZ.It has 2 levels of storage, the first is very shallow for maybe papers or something and the second level is very deep and I believe it will accommodate the OEM cup holder (although you would have to drive with the lid open.)The USB ports I have not used yet, but be aware you will need one of those cigarette lighter type connectors to plug the USB ports into.The fit has it flaws , but overall it's a great product and was very easy to install.

I took a gamble on this product both because of the price and as well as it didn't require drilling holes into my console like the OEM option from the dealership. It shipped from China and I received it after 3 weeks. It was worth the wait because it turned out to be a really good fit. The black leather w/ red stitching looks really good and matches the interior of my BRZ. The plastic component that connects to the cigarette socket however felt cheap and a little flimsy. The usb ports on it wasn't very secure so I superglued it in place. It also only came with 1 usb connector but without the actual plug that goes in the cigarette socket. For that I used one that I already owned. Both usb ports charged my phone without issues after testing. It also came with extra rubber spacers so I put some on my OEM cupholder and placed it inside the product's compartment. Every piece fit snugly in place. Overall I am very impressed and satisfied with this product. Good value for the price and the fact that I can also remove it anytime I want to makes it worth every penny.

I really wanted to like this product, but I ultimately ended up returning it. Below are PROS and CONS:PROS:- The product fits perfectly into the car taking place of the cup holder area of the BRZ.- It looks OEM and the red stitching perfectly matches the interior of the BRZ.- The product has two storage compartments. The first level is very thin, but I was able to kind of tuck my phone in there and store it conveniently while it charges. The second level is deeper, and you can fit back the cupholder that came with the car, but unfortunately, the cupholder does not fit perfectly in that area and is kind of loose. I have read some reviews that the product comes with some rubber spacers to secure it in place, but I did not see these in the box.CONS:- I found it was too tall for when driving a manual BRZ. It was nice to have a place to rest my arm, but because you are always shifting, it feels uncomfortable the more I drove with it to reach the gear selector. I imagine in an automatic BRZ it wouldn't be that much a problem.- The hinge for it is very loose, and you can wiggle it around. While to some this might not be a big deal, it felt really cheap and doesn't really securely close because the magnets that hold the door down are too weak.- The USB charging on it while is nice and convenient, requires that you already have a cigarette charging connector so that it plugs into that. The problem with that is that it ends up charging your phone so slowly that you're better off just using the actual charger directly.Conclusion:The concept and price of this product is excellent, but I feel that if they can refine the hinge so that it feels tighter and shorten the overall height of the product just a bit it would be perfect.

I hope one picture is enough for people to understand what I have done. When my product showed up I noticed the USB ports on the top (female connectors) where you would plug the phone cords into was broken, when you would install it they would fall down, and you couldn't plug into them.However, my circuits class from college kicked in, EVERYTIME YOU ADD A BOARD OR WIRE TO A CIRCUIT IT LOOSES SOME OF IT'S ABILITY TO CONDUCT ELECTRITY not trying to be pedantic but, a lot of people reading this my not be aware of this. The reason I am bring this up is this armrest adds a USB cord (that is not a fast charging cord either), then it routes it to a very poorly made circuit board, and lastly you plug another cord into that so your slowing down how fast you can charge.Solution: remove the circuit board like seen above (it's one screw it takes seconds), then get a fast charging 12v USB plug to go in the cigarette lighter, you'll have to have one of these anyway even if you don't change the armrest (I recommend one that's at least 30amps for each port and small sized I used this onehttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YWLW6B2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Then get yourself some fast charging USB cables (One USB and One USB-C into C or Apple) and 3.3ft in length.If you don't like your wires sticking out when not using them you can simply shove the wires back down the holes, and worst case if the plug at the end falls down throw the hole it's easy to run them back up through.Hope this helps some of you all.Also the armrest it's self seems a little high position wise, but I will spend more time driving with it I might just need to get used to it, another thing to keep in mind, is there is like zero padding on it, so it's not fun for your elbow. That can be address with a slide on pad (ugly) or get it reskinned with more padding ( not the cheapest route but looks good )Overall I am very happy with this product and it has a great price point. I would highly recommend it with the recommendation for the upgrade listed above.Cheers

It works great. Wish I had this a long time ago. But the covering and lid latch could be so much better. If the lid in general was built a bit stronger with a better latch and cloth this would be fantastic. For the price it a solid recommendation to buy one.

This product give you another level of comfort when driving your FR-S
