Does anyone have air-conditioned armrest?
I read over on the W203 C-class forum that the C-class has an air-conditioned armrest storage compartment. Mine doesn't have it, although I do see what appears to look like vents inside the armest storage compartment. Just curious if any C32 or C55 owners have this feature.

There was a very rare option on the 202 cars with a refrigerated storage console. Moving ahead in time, our 2006 Land Rover LR3 has a fridge in the storage console too. Very handy for road trips, holds four cans of pop, or four small bottles of water.

Well the thread stated that you can keep your soda pop cool in the compartment, so it's got to be the storage compartment under the armrest. I actually had my A/C on full blast and didn't feel any A/C blowing inside the lower section of the elbow rest.

Definitely handy for road trips or summer months. Wish my C55 had it.

I have a 2005 C55 and 2007 C230 and it works this way on both cars.

The box is a fan. The rear vent has a roll up knob (like the front vents to open or close the vent) for increasing/decreasing speeds for the rear A/C.

I tried messing with this during my lunch break today, but still don't feel any air on the inside of the armrest box.
What A/C control settings are you referring to? The roll up knob on the rear vents are fully opened and blowing air.

On my 02 c32 the box would not blow air inside the arm rest. The rear A/C only blows cold air if the main A/C unit is on. The cold air passing through the rear fan would cool the space inside the arm rest but not very much.
