I think it's just the opposite,if you have the passenger control you can't use that type armrests. Those that connect behind the seat grab handles get in the way of the volume control. I had to remove the switch/volume control, and added a buttom that has a velcro strap that holds it to the grab handle. You won't have volume control, but it doesn't work very well anyway. In order to keep the volume control you need the type that connects behind the antenas. If you don't have antenas you'll need to get the dummy mounts. I like the rests that mount behind the grab handles, just think they are stronger,I didn't want to put all that pressure on the trunk
