That's cool and all, but you should scale that image down. Holy cow.

Done

Looks pretty good for MSRP of $99.

I think I'll watch for a better price from the web Scion parts sellers.

Thanks. [RPM]

I can't make it out from that picture... But it looks ok from what I can tell... :ponder:

-THE DON

$100 to rest your arm...


Looks like it fits there well though...

$100 to rest your arm...


Looks like it fits there well though...

Looks good to me. I've spent $100 on worse things... :lalala:

Me too.. i bought interior lights for 100 bucks :whistle:

If it's in the same fabric as the rest of the interior, I'm happy.

Never been thrilled with the vinyl options.

More importantly...Scion is listening to us!!

I'd hit it.

that looks like its gonna be a good buy!

Looks like I'll be making the switch :lalala:

It is finially here... The wait is over...

It looks like im gonna be spendin another $100 on the xB...

Ill have to go the dealer on monday for this one...

Matt

Looks good, I'm going to have a friend check and see what the cost is. He can get it for 10% over cost. I hope it is taller than the one I currently have.

I am gonna call them and have one sent over to the upholstry guy for matching leather.

Looks good for $100. I want one now...if I had some money.

I was at the local dealer on March 5th and they had a BOP xB with $6000+ worth of OEM accesories on it WITH an armrest. I didn't get to ask anyone what brand/model it was, but it looked OEM and much like the picture shown above... :ponder:

Mine got ordered today. Depending on stock, it could be in tomorrow. anyone want to buy a 2 month old Boomerang armrest??

I wonder how sturdy it is if it's just being held by the rear cupholder... HRRMMMMMMM :ponder:

Me likey. Me wanty. Me spelly.

who ever gets it post pics of it and the material it comes in....
does it match our interior??

New Scion Parts has it for $79.99: http://www.newscionparts.com/product/?id=1753

It is 129 @ the local dealer which is crazy...

Parts Guy to the Rescue!!

For some reason the current pricing tape all dealerships have has different pricing than what was released in the bulletin. Both dealership cost and list price are different. I'll be calling our support line on Monday to find out WTF and see where pricing is supposed to be. So, your dealership isn't trying to put one over on you, they're just reading what the computer says when you gave them the number.

-Alex

Looks like it doesn't match the xB's cloth from those pics, but I do like the fact that it does have a cup holder. Post some pics when ya'll get it installed!

i need some actual pics before i purchase....anyone got this yet?

group buy?

I think I will order this Monday...see how much it really is.

I'm curious to know how sturdy this is. I can't wait for an install guide and pics.

Picked up my new box yesterday... first thing my wife said as we pulled away from the dealership; "Where's the armrest?"

me: "it doesn't have one"

her: "How can it not have an armrest?"

me: "I'll order one ASAP".

So, Thanks Scion for making my wife happy, and me a little poorer. :)

group buy?Not gonna happen.

Hi,

Just spoke with the local Scion dealer parts dept. and they said right now its special order item and cost is $129 + tax. This is from Delaray Beach, FL dealer.

That ScionParts web site looks gooder & gooder....

DaveYeah, I seem to be hearing that as well.

Not a great way to keep the customer in store, so to speak...

I called Hollywood Scion, and the parts guy is out to lunch...so WTF? What, there is ONE guy in the parts dept? What if I happened to be there, and had money to burn, wanted a part, and no guy there to get it?

I bet I would find another place to burn that cash, perhaps...maybe the web is the way to go...

looks good but is missing storage, i need that storage.

looks good but is missing storage, i need that storage.

Zeta.

Right Scion in Scottsdale didn't know about them either. It's $129 from them so online sounds like the way to go.

Anyone have one yet??

JonnyD

Anyone else notice that for a " 5 minute install " the dealership is getting upwards of $30 extra? Man, im in the wrong business. :doh:

I called carson toyota aka www.newscionparts.com and they don't have any at the moment but they said they could get it in a couple days.

I have got HOLLYWOOD SCION telling me that it can be in WEDNESDAY the 30th of March.

However.

KING TOYOTA tells me that it can't be in for a few days, at most, since it has to come from CALI.

Which is right? I guess I will find out on WEDNSEDAY. Oh, and neither one quoted that low price in the advert. My parts install guy at King, tells me it is indeed a five minute install, and that it's one screw, in, done.

So why the huge charge, I got to wonder...

pics....

For $129, Zeta Storage Armrest is looking like the better buy.

I think Zeta's latest looks better too...

thats total crap that everyone is getting the 129 qoute

that memo that was posted on the first page ... was a memo sent out to the scion parts depts correct ?

if it has the prices listed at 99 and 125 installed

why aren't the computers reflecting this ?

why would they issue the memo with the 99 price and then give u a 129 price when they look up the part number

They got the prices reversed on the PANT bulletin. Dealer Installed Option is always higher than Port (PPO) option. MSRP is $125.00

Okay, mine came in today, just a few minutes ago. Here's most of your questions answered:

Fabric: it appears to be the exact same black fabric used on the seats. The rest is gray plastic same as your center console.

Mounting: Remove screw holding down center console in back, insert crazy U shaped wire in seat tracks, screw console back down, install lower part of armrest in rear cup holder, slide crazy U shaped wire over lower part of armrest, put top of armrest over lower part and screw together, enjoy!

Pricing: From what Toyota charged us it looks like the MSRP is the $129 price. I'm contacting the region HQ to see what's up with this and will get back to you later.

Hope that helps everyone.

I'll take some pics after lunch when I go home to get the camera.

-Alex

So the fabric will match the fabric used in the HOT LAVA, right ?

Sounds good ......

Yeah, all of the black fabric is the same for all the Scions. The armrest has none of the color flecks in it.

It uses to the seat tracks? Hey, that's our invention! :no:

anyone got it yet? review?
I'm going to swing by the dealership today to see about one... :pray:

Edit: I just called...They have 5 in stock! I'm on my way there now :P

I just ordered one from Conicelli Scion and they said it says grey as the color. is that because the plastic is grey? Or is there a seperate part number for the black one. Through the magic of the internet, I had much more information than the parts guy there. Always a joy.

Just ordered mine ........ Should have it by Thursday !

You should have filed a patent...

I ordered one the other day for $79.. thanks for the tip.

I was going to order the Zeta with the storage... but it was just too pricey... So OEM one came out in perfect time for me...

Mine's in :lalala:

I'll post a review after a few day's use :)

post pics!!!

I just took some pics in and out of the car with all the pieces. I have to wait until I get home to download them from my camera, but I'll post them tonight.

Finally one that you get to keep the cup holder for the rear, but no storage. I want the best of both worlds.

The Zeta is the best of both worlds.

I got to see this...I hope it looks cool, and not cheap.

Oh, and how much space does it eat up in the rear? As in, will the middle person lose a lot of leg room with the rear cup holder there?.

Sorry this took so long everybody, but I got invited to dinner then hung out for a while... You know how things go.

Regardless, here's one:

ENJOY!!

Looking good. Mine comes in tommorow. Can't wait.

That looks pretty good.

I hope I get mine soon...

Hey, Thanks for posting those outstanding pictures ....... Mine will be in on Thursday, looking forward to installing it, was it a quick and simple install ?

Looks great ....... I love the price, atleast Scion is keeping the price reasonable !

KUDOS ALL THE WAY !

Mine will be in on Thursday, looking forward to installing it, was it a quick and simple install ?

Well actually I haven't installed it in my car yet, however it would appear that it will go much faster than my Boomerang did. Should only take about 5 or 10 minutes with decent lighting. It was just "mocked up" in the xA to get the look of the thing.

Thanks for the compliment though!

-Alex

You know, the HOLLYWOOD SCION dealer, needs to get it's act together on this. They tell me, 'Sure, it can be in Wednesday. It has to come from Jacksonville.' Yet, KING TOYOTA tells me (more to the point about it), that it has to come from CAL. , and might not be in for several days.

So I just got off the phone with HOLLYWOOD SCION, and what a surprise: No armrest. And now, the parts guy there (the head guy, John was out for the day), tells me what I already know: It has to come from CAL.

Not cool, promising a customer one thing, then having to bail on that.

I'll just have to keep looking, that's all.

It looks to me like the East Coast is screwed at the moment for stock on these things. They have several hundred on the way out there, but that means about 3-4 working days before the warehouses have them in stock. Everywhere else in the country appears to have plenty of stock in the warehouses.

That's why the FL ones have to come out of CA. Sorry east coast, but you'll get them real soon!

Alex: It's nice to have a Scion dealer here on SL that gives us the inside scup and status on stuff like this. Thanks a lot for your updates. RPM

^^^ Agreed.

Hmmm... Mine had an arm rest in it when I bought it...

I wonder how it compares with the Zeta Products armrest? Honestly, the fabric cover scares me with respect to lasting. Also, it would seem the cup holder might stick into the rear passenger leg space (middle). Any comments?

Ayone know a true price, I've heard $129, 79...? Used the scion chat on their website but all the guy said was all official pricing is done in dealer

Also, it would seem the cup holder might stick into the rear passenger leg space (middle). Any comments?

Yeah, I want to know about that as well.

Could someone please fix the spelling of "release" in the title of this thread. It's really starting to bug me.

Just curious as to how this would look in an RS 2.0. Anyone with any knowledge of the color match?

Would someone pleasssssssssse :pray: make an armrest that we can adjust the height on.

Just curious as to how this would look in an RS 2.0. Anyone with any knowledge of the color match?

Color matches the black perfectly, it's the same fabric. It should wear well too since it's the same material that is on the seats. Not similar material, it's the same stuff off the same bolt of fabric.

It will intrude a little bit into the rear seat area, but it isn't much. Anyone that's able to squeeze into the "hump seat" anyway won't be very inconvenienced.

As far as pricing, yes, the dealer determines the price for EVERY part they sell on EVERYTHING. The MSRP in the bulletin is $99, but the pricing tape has it at $129 (there is discrepancy in the dealer cost too between the two). Currently, the higher price jives with what they're charging the dealerships, but I am waiting on info from my region to see which is the REAL price. At the moment, expect to pay the higher price from most dealers.

Thanks for the compliments again guys, I'm just an owner who happens to be the parts guy too. Just spreading info I would find helpful myself.

-Alex

Would someone pleasssssssssse :pray: make an armrest that we can adjust the height on.

Have you looked at the new Zeta? It is adjustable. Check the link in my sig.

I wonder how sturdy it is if it's just being held by the rear cupholder... HRRMMMMMMM :ponder:

:loser: :no:

its not being held by the rear cup holder, it INCLUDES a rear cup holder.
So how is does it mount? :tap:

my mom would try to use rice to make it stick... :eyebrow:

finally ordered my armrest from new scion parts .com. willl be getting it in about 5-7 days. i will post back when it is installed. the dealer said the scions will start to come with these soon so I take it that it is a good product :clap: :clap:

me no like... no storage... where can i find pics of the zeta one?

i want one that has two cupholders in the back..

The Zeta armrest, currently, just leaves access to the rear cup holder.

http://www.zetaproducts.net/images/xb_main_pic1.jpg

The advantage I see for the Zeta unit is that it is likely more sturdy because it's metal brackets bolt to the seats, it has storage, and it leaves access to the existing cup holder and surrounding area. Lastly, I like the hard case over fabric for cleanability. If I get dirty it's going to be my arms from working on things. The seats are not a concern as my ___ stays clean. Ha! Although I have not physically seen the new Scion arm rest, I have to believe it will be a little more wobbly and less stable due to how it mounts. The price is more attractive though, about 60 bucks less than the Zeta. I need the additional storage, that's why I'm going with the Zeta. Maybe the cost of the Zeta will come down now that there is another unit on the market. I'll leave feedback once I install and use the Zeta unit. Those who buy the new Scion unit, please leave feedback. Thanks.

I am told, as of late WEDNESDAY, that all of these arm rests are on Serious back order. Not to expect them for about two weeks.

So, I hope for a miricle, that it can get here sooner then later.

Mine will be here in NYC by Tuesday (shipped yesterday) from NewScionParts.com

They had it in stock and I ordered it on Wednesday.

Latest pricing update:

According to my guys at the KC region office, the current pricing tapes that the dealerships have on these parts are WRONG! If I were you, I would wait a week (when the new tapes should be put through) and then check the pricing again. The list price from Scion should be the $99 price. Of course, all dealerships set their own pricing so they may choose to just sell them for the $129 price even after the tapes change. I'll let everyone know when we get ours updated in the system.

Did that make sense? Hope so!

-Alex

why is everyone still talking about prices and stuff when carson scion sells the for $79.00?!?!?!?!?

got one of these oe arm rests. not worth your time. its a waste of money and looks like crap

Hi,

OK, so now we are seeing some of these factory units hiting the streets. So what mods can we do to them to add that little bit of storage they lack ??

haahahahaha

thanks for the pix.... loos good but im not digging that cup holder. looks weird. i ll stick with my Zeta II

ScoobyVan - Thanks for the Pix...what is your opinion? Was it worth the $? Is it sturdy or flimsy? Does it make the drive more comfortable? Please give a brief write up.

Thanks!

I ordered mine from my local Toyota/Scion Dealer. They said the price also was 129.00, he then called me back and stated that price was not correct, it is going to be sold for 99.00, my dealer also offers those who bought a vehicle from them a 20% discount on all parts and stuff, so my price he stated was 79.00, I paid for it and am waiting for it to arrive ....

This is a nice option !

hmmmm I like this armrest.....I may change out the Boomerang one for it...if the height is better..the Boomerang is too low

hmmmm I like this armrest.....I may change out the Boomerang one for it...if the height is better..the Boomerang is too low

I swapped out my Boomerang for this one and am pleased with the results. I think it may be a bit higher, but the biggest bonus is that I can access the seat belt buckle again. I'm not a tiny person (6'3", 250) and I wear a Leatherman on my hip so it was slightly difficult to get at the belt buckle in an emergency for me. This new armrest alleviates that problem and gives me back my rear cup holder too.

I have to disagree with the comment that it is flimsy since I put my full weight on it and everything held (not that I do that a lot or anything, but I wanted to test it).

We did a little road trip to a club meet today and I was very pleased with it. My passengers in the back seat (2 buddies from work, not little kids or anything) had no "lack of space" issues with the cup holder.

I like being able to flip it up when I don't want it as well. Not a convenience I absolutely NEED, but it's nice.

The only downside is the lack of storage. Since I only had change in the Boomerang anyway it's not a big deal to me. I just put the change in the ashtray since I don't smoke.

So, that's my review. Agree with me or don't. I hope it was helpful to some.

-Alex

^^^ Nice pics! Thanks!

I just got mine! Both!
One for the xB, and one for the xA. They go in easy.
It's a snap. About 15 minutes for the xB (the first one done), and then about 5 minutes for the xA.

Nice fit, comfy, and look great.
They do not take up much rear leg room at all in the car. Well, the xA has a bit less rear leg room then the xB, but I kinda figured that going in.

Thumbs up for a great product! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I just installed mine it took about 5 minutes...
The little tricky wire thing took 3 minutes to hook in its place on the lower piece.
It looks great!!!

Looks good. I like that the fabric matches the interior. I have to order one soon.

Neat! It looks pretty good.

I ordered the armrest yesterday from newscionparts.com, and it came via UPS today!

However, the armrest came broken in three pieces. The swivel mount at the rear of the armrest is broken. If it broke during shipping, I don't see how it's going to tolerate daily use!

I should mention that there were NO PACKING MATERIALS inside...no bubble plastic, and no foam peanuts!


I called Carson Toyota immediately, so it can be returned, and money refunded.

ooooooh, that aint good :nails:
I ordered mine from newscionparts.com also, hope it comes soon, and hope it isn't broken like yours. CANT WAIT UNTIL I CAN REST MY ARM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOT woot WOOT woot :silly: :silly: :silly:

Well, when mine came in, it was wrapped in plastic. No broken parts. And it's solid. I put some weight on it, and no problem.

Sorry yours was broken. Maybe you got the bad one in the bunch.

Maybe plastic is just weak. :)

Hi,

Got mine in today from Newscionparts. Took like 10 mins to install....my reading glasses had difficulty focusing on the little hook things on the chair rails....

But it looks nice. As solid as plastic can be....

I notice, for me, my forearm seems to rub on the front part of the armrest as I shift gears. The material is kinda rough to that extent.

Its a little awkward setting the emergency brake when parking, only in that you have to move the armrest up to pull the brake lever...no biggie tho....

I am very happy to have it all in all.


Dave

Installed the OE scion armrest today... Took 5 minutes, It looks OEM. It fits perfectly and looks totally factory.
Well worth the $80.. Glad I waited.
Will try and get some pics and post them

Got mine today from newscionparts.

Put it in and viola, we gots ourselves an armrest!

OK, my minor complaints iinclude how it blocks the hand brake and I'm not digging the suspended cupholder in the back, but again I am glad I got it.

$79.00 plus shipping.

However, that suspened cupholder in the back is deeper then the one in the front. Which is a Good Thing™, IMHO.

OK, my minor complaints include how it blocks the hand brake
Same here, I have to reach forward of the armrest to set and release the brake...I don't lift the armrest up every time, that would be too much work for a lazy guy like me :lalala:

It makes access to the seatbelt a little tougher...I guess for the guys changing from another armrest they are accustomed to both of these things, but I have not had an armrest in the box since I bought it so I'm still getting used to it...

Truthfully, a week after instaling it I don't find myself even using the armrest...I tend to drive this car with my right hand on the wheel (auto trans) and my left arm on the door sill...but my passenger may use it, and even if neither one of us does, it does give the interior a more finished look...

finally recieved my scion armrest. I must say for the money it is well worth it. Installation was too easy . Only one complaint is it is a little to low but just pimp down and to the right and u are in some comfort zone :rofl:

I need to see it, but I think I will be getting one of those.

Does it block the use of the emergency brake, some of you say yes and others haven't commented on it?

I have not noticed a problem with getting to the e-brake.

Hi,

I wouldn't say it gets in the way of the emergency brake, but whatever arm actions you used to use, you will likely have to modify them once the OEM armrest is in place.

For me, sometimes I reach all the way over the armrest to get at the brake handle/release, or I simply put the armrest up. I guess it will depend on how long your arms are etc...

I prefer the arm rest being there, than no armrest. THAT is my bottom line.


Dave

Skylab: if you think about it, everyday use in your car isn't that rigorous. Tail lights can shatter if they're dropped 6", but they're not breaking all over the place. The UPS people probably tossed your armrest around quite a bit. Your car doesn't see that kind of turbulence.

I'm waiting to sit in a car with one of these to see whether or not to sell my tBlizzard and get one of these.

I have an auto so I see no emergency brake problems.
I wish it were adjustable.
It's a bit low.

looks great feels stong.

and I used my 50 buck scion gift certificate so it only cost me 29 bucks plus shipping.

worth it.

Sweet ^^

SCION armrest rules. IMHO, of course.

i like the one from boomerang

I have this Scion armrest and don't like it. It's nice looking and sturdy but for my height, it sits too low. In fact, if anyone is interested in buying mine, let me know.

I actually did just get in the Zeta and installed it. I like it better because is sits higher and I am better able to rest my arm on it. Both look good but the Zeta is higher and a little wider.

^^^ Do you get paid by Zeta to say that, or is that an honest view?

I'm just curious. Sponsors make some views seem, well, bought.

Not that I'm saying that is always true...just sometimes.

I only pimp stuff I really like. I've actually sent stuff back that I didn't care for even though it was free. I may be a whore for free stuff, but I'm a high-end whore. :rofl:

high priced whore in Tulsa?

Just because I'm from Oklahoma doesn't mean I have to behave like an Okie...........lol

If anyone actually tries both armrests, I can't see how they would like the Scion armrest better. It's substantially lower, narrower and no storage. The good news is that it also looks good, is sturdy and much cheaper to purchase. It could be totally suitable for maybe anyone 5'8" or shorter. My hardly used Scion armrest is available and I'm asking $60 plus shipping or best offer.

The Zeta storage armrest was easy to install and sits at a comfortable height for my 6' frame. It folds out of the way when I need to do a lot of shifting in traffic. The pictures don't do it justice, probably because of light reflection, but it really does look OEM when installed.

disclaimer: Zeta didn't pay me for this endorsement.

P.S.: you may be able to get a better price by putting in a "best offer" on the Zeta listed armrests on ebay.

I finally put my Zeta in the classifieds.

Well, for me, I don't need the storage (have too much storage space I ain't using in the Box as it is), and am happier with the stock one, since it is not as expensive. Plus, the height is just right for me.

Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever had a armrest be adjustable when it came to height.

I think i got mine from CARSON TOYOTA or TOYOTAPARTS4U (not sure which) at $79. Its great because it matches the interior perfectly. I don't mind it not having any storage because it looks right. The only problem is that the e-brake is a little difficult to get to now. But, it just takes some getting used to. install is toooooo simple but sits pretty solid and feels stock. I'll take pics and post.

Awwww, dernit! I *just* bought the armrest that attaches to the driver's seat (it matches the fabric exactly too), but I really didn't want to put any holes in the fabric! However...I am too lazy to order this new one...enjoy guys!

You all know the best price.... $71.25 from: http://www.trdsparks.com./displayparts.php?Mdl_dtl=450&Part_cat=23&parts_id=657
It not only looks the same, it feels the same as the OEM fabric.

Yeah getting a scion one from the above link and if height is too low why not just use a pillow? For the price it seems like a fine armrest

Cause having to use a pillow is ghetto. Why not just get an armrest you don't have to use a pillow on?

how is shifting affected with the Zeta storage 2.0 armrest?

it looks a little long and might be annoying when shifting

Shifting is not affected at all. For me it is at the perfect height. You can rest your arm on the armrest (hence the name....lol) and still rest your habd on the shifter.

The set up is perfect on the stock one, to rest your arm while shifting.
