Are these both inter-changeable without any modifications?

 

Thank god they moved the heat warming buttons... I always hit them with my elbow and never notice tell my *** is hot.

 

Werd! I'd the guy who designed the '03 center armrest if I ever see him!

 

If its possible , it will be something done to my car

 

I think it is possible. I'm pretty sure that everything from the a/c controls upward is the same.

 

not 100% sure but i think it can be done

 

lol. What? You have a problem plugging in your radar detector behind you?

 

all I care about is moving the harzard flashing light button....my elbow is always hitting that

 

anyone tried? what is the part # for the newer design anyway?

 

I'd like to know as well. good thread

 

It might all be possible, you just need to re-route the wire of the hazard light. Thats what I am guessing.

 

Does anyone know if this swap will work. I have an 05 and would love to have the 06 armrest. Much better design. Any help on this old thread would be a great help. Thanks

 

I don't think this is possible without swapping out the center console also. From what I have seen the entire arm rest mounts into the console at a different location for the 03-05 vs 06+.

 

Thanks for your help. Kill newbies You came in to this world all wet and slimey also.

 

LOL a little lubrication never hurts...but seriously why dont you talk to CRAZY Z, I think he's in the process of doing an entire 03 -> 06+ interior swap. I'm sure he's got more insight on this than most of us.

 

Thanks for your time and effort Fairlady, I'll look him up. If I end up doing the swap, I'll post instructions and pics for those who hate the old armrest. What a stupid design that was. With the navi, I don't even have a place large enough for my phone unless I reach behind me. What came first? The cell phone or the 05 Z?
