Default Palm rest/storage

Hi, I recently came across a photo in a Fb group, could anyone kindly guide me on where I might be able to mod this palm rest/storage unit? Does ur car comes with it?

I have a 2016 Lexus RX350 luxury and mine has the same storage compartment.

I didn't even know it was there until I saw your post and tried to open mine and it opens! I did notice it was quite firm when flipping it open for the first time. I guess the small rubber stoppers on the lid had fused onto the compartment a bit.

Thanks!

Waiting for others to chime in... I have a '22 Premium and the "palm rest" doesn't open. (The center console does.)
Did FB mention what model & year that was?

Mine opens. I think it was meant to store a cell phone.

16-20 is able to do this.

If you have the large square track/mousepad then it is a fixed armrest.

2016 - 2019. The 2020 MY got the touchscreen and the phone holder on the front-right side of the console. The palm pad on the 2020 is fixed.
