Hi all,

I recently got hold of an electric armrest from an S2 XM. I had to remove the whole middle console at the time, as it didn't seem possible to remove the mechanism only -too big-. On closer inspection, it still seems that the mechanism is too large to go out in anyway, even if I separate the actual box-lid from the mechanism (4 bolts hold them together). Is that right? Do I have to swap entire middle consoles if I want to have this gimmick in my XM?

regards
George

Is your XM as soft as it should be ??

Mine is not as good...but quite near!

Hi Geogre

You will find that the electric arm rest centre console has an extra rubber flap surround compared to the static one. I have never fitted one in a car that I did not want to change the console so never tried to fit the motor frame through the console opening.

hehe -my car is totally black inside as per photo, and the donor is greyish I think, so there's no way it'll go in unless I can separate the mechanism-. Anyway, at least it could be of use to someone else with an S2 XM (instead of being scrapped).

Jorgy,

Electric arm rest will fit - just!

I fitted an S2 electric rest into a S1 1990 V6 when I had my first one, and wired it up successfully ..

Worked perfectly fine!
It was however quite a fiddle to do if i remember correctly

Good luck

regards

Hi George

The arm rest lids are easy to swap. They hinge on 2 push fit pins.
