if anyone is still reading this, i have a mk6 golf (from 2010) that came with no armrest at all. i bought what i think is a mk5 armrest with the big L shaped storage compartment and 3.5mm jack inside used off ebay. it fit pretty well, almost perfectly. i say 'almost' because there is a slight gap between it and where it should meet up with the rest of the center console, but not sure if that is because of an actual issue with how everything should fit, or just my installation. anthracite color matched my titan black interior close enough that i cant tell a difference. didnt require removing or replacing anything forward of the e-brake. the armrest has airvents in the back, but my car has no duct there, so they arent functional. i can provide pics or links to what i bought if anyone wants.
