    Anyway to disable this "feature" and make it possible to open the armrest at any time? Wife gets her charging cables jammed in the back blocking ability to slide it all the way back to open it in order to remove the obstruction. Reasoning behind the feature escapes me :confused:

    Usually it's the charging cable for nav/gps unit that is stored inside when car is parked.

    A permanent solution would be ideal. I'm thinking I could figure out a way given some time with it. Hoping someone already has and can tell me how easy it is!
