Haven’t stuck this on somehow yet but my left elbow sure enjoyed the test run of this on the armrest!

Replacing the fog lights with LED. Made a HUGE improvement to the definite lacking headlight illumination.
Now, to find a suitable replacement for the low beam bulb.
Otherwise, best/ cheapest MOD would be adding sound mat under the spare tire compartment.
May look to add some in the rear wheel wells if I figure out how to remove the plastic panels.

Although I really like my floormats and window vent visors, the center console organizer tray someone recommended on here months ago really is a handy accessory. The Kona armrest storage compartment is pretty deep and this really adds a lot of functionality without taking away much of the storage area.

i`ve had my 2019 SE AWD for about 6 weeks so i`m just starting out with accessories but so far i got the Weathertech floor liners which have an excellent fit. i`ve also purchased nearly all the LED`s to replace all the standard lighting on the car but haven`t installed them yet. the next thing i want to do is get a remote start installed.
This!
It not only raises the height of the centre console armrest by 2.5 inches but as you can see from the pics, the new armrest slides forward up to 2 inches closer to the dash. This unit is a big improvement over the oem centre armrest which, IMHO is too low and not long enough to be of much use.
I personally prefer the contour of the A type but the shape is a personal choice.
The unit comprises a base with the adjustable armrest behind which is a tray and a cupholder/usb insert box that sits in the tray. Although the box is a snug fit in the tray it needs to be fixed in place with double-sided tape else it will fall out when you open the oem console lid. Included is a usb extension cord that terminates in twin usb ports located under the small rectangular lid at the top of the insert box, shown clearly in the lower left pic.
The Kona armrest is a tad over 16 cm wide so this unit fits just fine. The unit fixes to the oem console lid with a couple of elastic straps.
The cupholder/usb insert box is not as useful as you might think however coz whatever you stow in this little caddy, (including any beverage that you put in the cupholder) will end up on the back floor if you lift the oem armrest to access the console cubby! This is not an issue for me coz I don't store stuff in the caddy but the extra comfort provided by the armrest makes up for this obvious shortcoming in the design.

Longest link I've ever seen but it seems to work. If this fails, search AliExpress and then search for car armrests.

I bought the CarlinKit 2.0, very pleased with the purchase. It usually connects within 30 seconds and the delay when switch a song is negligible. I was skeptical but I don't even think about it anymore.
If you buy it, there is a review (by robaroo) that has instructions that were flawless. Better than the included booklet.
