I was able to check one out on a 2015 model at the dealership. Still not as nice as the euro armrest, but funtional and comfortable for me. I decided to go ahead and get it.

Unfortunately, I did not take any pics of the install. It was pretty straightforward and easy. It does come packed with a paper template to cut out and line up for the holes. No need for the cover shown in the video, but everything else about the install is the same. I did it myself in about an hour (after carefully cutting out the paper templates).

Likes: The ability to still use the cup holders without obscuring the passenger. The padding is cofortable and is good for long road trips. The cover slides/locks into the front, middle, and rear positions. It matches the interior well.

Dislikes: Sits slightly taller than necessary. If it was maybe 10mm or so shorter, it would be perfect to me. Aesthetically not as pleasing as some of the other armrests.

Overall: My passengers and I like it. If in the market for an armrest and looking for something functional that you can still use the center console with ease, this is what you're looking for. If looking for something that works as an armrest, but you don't use or need the center console, I would probably go with the euro armrest or something similar.
