Does the center armrest have two compartment areas? I think my wheel lock key is in one of the compartments but can't figure out how to open it.

I know it's in there because I can hear it rolling when braking lol. It is right under the cushion area of the armrest from what I can see.

Also, does the armrest have a lock like the glove box?

 

There are 2 different release tabs under that front edge of the padded part. Try all the way to the left and all the way to the right...one of them should open it up.

Edit: Also, no lock that i know of.

 

if you look closely near the center armrest.. there is a small latch near it.. the small one pops the top compartment.

 

Like the posters above said, theres 2 latches

==========
------______

The "=====" is the armrest cushion... the area you see when sitting in the car, the area that your elbow goes on

the "------" is one of the latches on the passenger side

the "_____" is the other latch located closest to the drivers side.

Just put your hand under it and move it left and right, you will feel two different latches. Press only one and pull up!

 

Yeah, as stated above there are indeed 2.
One for larger, and one for small stuff.

Btw does anybody have a rattle from using the armrest (arm on top of handrest) when going over bumps?

 

Not I

 

No rattles from mine. Do you have something in there that is jumping when you go over bumps?

 

Nope =(

It only rattles when my arm is resting (or pushing down) on the armrest.

So picture this:

The arm rest has a spring that holds it up.
My arm rests on it pushing the spring down.
This all happens within a split second lol:
When I go over a bump, my arms obviously bumps up too, taking the load off the armrest. Then my arm falls back down (after being airbourne by the bump) and applies the load on the armrest again which pushes the spring down and makes the bottom of the armrest hit the top of the console.

Probably sounds weird; I need to make a video =D lol

 

I don't ever drive with my elbow on the arm rest, it's usually laying on the shift level so maybe that's why I haven't experienced it.
