Climate Controlled Front Centre Armrest

tjalt · 08-11-2005, 11:19 PM

Has anyone found it useful/effective?

It kept my baby's formula nice and cool during the long trip....

My gum is rock hard and frozen all the time. Ipod is nice and cool too.

I have a small packet of tissues in there so I just shut the air flow off. Not really necessary for me but certainly good for Jesse's gum & Natureboy's baby formula.

Why are you still having baby formula Natureboy? Do you really like it so much?

Keeps my cell phone cool in the summer.

I have notice that if you close this vent it increaes the air flow through the rear vents. Useful to cool the rear seats faster!

Keeps a can of soda cool, but i dont use it. Nice for the gum though.

Keeps my Ipod cool. It tends to get hot while playing and charging at the same time. I just leave it in the compartment.

It's almost 99% as good as mother's milk......

It is too small .I wonder what the engineers have figured out to store there.Maybe chocolate during summer?

Broken1 · 08-13-2005, 11:41 AM

I store chocolate for my gf in there...when I buy her something nice :-) (she likes very expensive hand-made chocolates)

Other than that...Today I had a pasta sauce which says keep refrigerated, i popped it in the arm rest, put the ac on and it stayed cool. I parked my car (undercover) and 2 hours later...it was STILL cool (even though the car was fairly warm).

Is the armrest perhaps insulated? Like a cooler box?
I was impressed. Now I get to eat fresh pasta sauce...and i didn't come straight home! :-)

Am I right in assuming that the climate controlled armrest only gets as cold as the set temperature of the car?

Broken1 · 08-13-2005, 04:32 PM

Yes...so infact natureboy could keep his baby's formula nice and warm on a cold winter day roadtrip if he(the baby (or she?)) wanted!

It keeps my pot from going stale.

bzzbenz · 08-13-2005, 06:15 PM

I don't use mine at all... Its to short to put water bottles in there...
