1. Dunno, sorry.
2. I liked the Mini-Fini one so well that I put it in both my R53 and R56. Unfortunately, no storage.

Cheers!!

it's the button to release that black panel in there so you can put in an Iphone cradle.

thankyou! just figured it out how to pop that off. Don't plan on owning an iphone anytime soon, so back in it goes with my leatherman and a few pens. perhaps' i'll look for a better storage option... i like the armrest, just wish it were bigger

I just wish it had a lift up lid and not a slide back one! but some extra space in there would be good too.

It's not just for an iPhone cradle. There are many other cradle for many other phones that will fit in there as well.

Slide it all the way back then lift up the front. It will lift up but has to be in the "All the way back" position 1st.
