The one disappointment I've had with my 2013 Jazz EX is the lack of a centre console and I thought I had solved the problem when I bought an aftermarket fitting from here https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Car-Storage-Box-Center-Centre-Console-Leather-Dual-Layer-Armrest-Cup-Holder-For-Honda-Jazz-Fit/1262027_32836333273.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.7d3d18e12voIQV Just copy the whole link and paste it into your browser.
Whilst I could fit the base holder ok, when I came to put the console on to it I couldn't because of the driver's fold down arm rest stops it sliding into place. The irony is that prior to trying to install the console I hadn't even noticed the arm being there. I looked to see if the arm rest could be easily removed as I had never used it but couldn't see any way to do so.
I queried this with the supplier and suggested they hadn't tried it with all models and should refund me but without any luck - they suggested mine was a special model! I pointed out that EX is a standard spec but no joy. So if anyone would like one of these I'm happy to sell it on or failing that is there an easy way to remove the folding armrest. It is well made and fits without any screw holes and if I could use it I would happily keep it.

Is the center armrest a sliding one? I am interested to buy it from you, but it has to be shipped to the Netherlands and i’m afraid it will be more expensive than when i buy from Alie. ;)
But i think the folding armrest on you chair can be removed. Here a link to a youtube video to install one on a Fit. Maybe it can help you to get it off.

You could try this link
http://hondafitjazz.com/manual3/index.html
If you scroll down the list to "Body" then "Seats" then "Front Seats" the second item down on the right hand side says "Armrest Replacement"
Sorry if that's a bit long-winded, but I was unable to copy the direct link to the item.

Hi guys thanks for your help - I've been out and checked the arm rest and there is a plastic cover on the pivot point so it looks to be a fairly simple job to remove it. Sale offer suspended until I check it out!

Hi, Well the arm rest came off easily enough and allowed the centre console to slide into place as it is supposed to. I did wonder how to cover the hole where the arm rest was mounted but luckily the console covers this up.
Problem solved thanks guys.
-
Can you upload a photo of it in place?
-
Will try and do tomorrow sometime Danno

Well done!
To cover the hole i am certain there’s an other plastic, like on your other front seat. You can try Lings Honda parts or a scrap yard.

Probably get it on ebay, not sure if it'll be cheaper: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Layer-Centre-Console-Armrest-Fit-For-2008-2013-Honda-Jazz-Storage-Box-Tray/162722856720?fits=Car+Make%3AHonda%7CModel%3AJazz&hash=item25e309bf10:m:mXwZzgv9p2GBbtATOE2OrOQ

Hi John and WeeleeBoy, Hope you got your armrest prob sorted and could you answer me a simple question, if have read posts correctly!
The armrest in post 10 together with link to ebay 'Dual Layer Centre Console Armrest Fit For 2008-2013 Honda Jazz Storage Box Tray' priced at £34.95, is this the 1 you have fitted in your car, and if so, is it a tight fit and stable, or does it wobble/any play in armrest? (I can see from the ebay link as per post 10 that this armrest has, on the underneath, 2 parts that act as 'plugs' into the 2 'sockets' (rear cup holder and other pocket' and am hoping that it is a tight fit).
Many thanks for help and any further advice.
-
Hi Spencer, yes all fitted and firmly in place no wobbles at all. The lift up top has 2 sections, one very shallow, ideal for papers/cards etc and the lower section is deeper. Hope this helps.
-
Do you find it gets in the way at all in general driving, or when applying the handbrake or changing gear?
-
I've not found a problem although gear changes done by my friend CVT! Can be a bit tight fastening seat belt at first but soon got used to it.

Reviving this older armrest / centre console thread rather than starting a new one ( makes it easier to search ).
Got this link off Chris_music thread on mods he had done to his MK2 Si in gallery pictures and liked the look of it, the lack of a front armrest in MK2 annoys me as I love the one in the Civic.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162722856720
This armrest appears to be the same one that started this thread anyway, but from a different seller. Takes about 2 weeks to arrive from PRC and for about £35 it is not a bad - it does not require any fixing to the car so does not damage anything, There is one available with red stitching and one with black - this is the black stitched one.
Extra useful storage space, you can still use the round ashtray for your parking coins as it fits into cup holder on rear of armrest, IMHO it is a useful addition that Honda should have fitted, but hey-ho...
Have attached PDF with photos..
Main thing is it is shipped in 3 parts, you have to put 4 screws in ( supplied ) to attach an intermediate plate to the base, ( do not overtighten the screws, just make them snug ) the top console bit slides onto that plate and can move about 2 inches front and back - it has a pattern of ridges on the base and a plastic sprung lever that clicks as you slide it along, the console bit is a snug fit between front seats anyway so it will not randomly slide around.

Going to order this, thanks for the link. Will the existing armrest require removal for this one to fit?

I ordered the same one as Culzean, from the same seller, came damaged. So, getting a replacement sent. Packaging wasn't that great I think, especially as it has to come over from China, so have a good look at it if you get one from them.

This thread actually starts with removing the existing fold down armrest to fit the centre console.
