I've got the same problem, I drive everyday to work for about 1 hour and half and I can't help placing my hand right there. My seat is becoming lighter too in that area

I have the Toyota accessory armrest in my 2014. It doesn't say that it works with the 2015 up interior redesign. Almost tempted to try it but it's a pain to remove.

Also, the rubber mats I got recently from Toyota have a covering where the dead pedal would be.

I could be wrong, but I think the 2014 has the same interior as my 2016.

The 2012-14 and 15-17 are different inside although very similar. The center console is a big difference as is the actual dashboard.

Do not waste your money! I fitted one to my Mk3 Yaris and although it is of reasonable quality, it makes it difficult to operate the handbrake (parking brake). I suspect it could also interfere with operating a manual gearchange.
It is also too low down to rest one's arm comfortably, even at the highest adjustment. It does hinge up out of the way but not fully - it does not sit vertically in the up position. Sadly that is where mine now permanently sits and not used. It does have useful extra storage though.
Fitting is very easy but does require drilling 3mm holes in the centre console. I don't thing the self tapping screws into thin plastic are are an ideal way of fixing either and will easily fail if not careful when tightening.
The centre console itself is not firmly fixed anyway so the whole assembly can move quite alarmingly.

Thanks for the post. I was thinking about getting one.
Great info and covers the problems I was thinking may occur.
I will just forget the thought of an armrest. I am used to it by now, is not a problem

A bad joke lol. Looking at the pics of that aftermarket armrest, I came across that image with the words "turn up" on it, so...

Yaris owners...turn up.

/insert groans here.

i have bought this rrrati armster you are talking about.

just two screws and it holds up very firm.

very satisfied, maybe the best money you can spend for the interior. it adjusts at any place you want and it feels like it came from factory.

i can post some photos later if you like

Kalispel - if I may ask, how tall are you? I'm 5' 10" and need to have my seat all the way back. It's fine, but I wouldn't mind if it went even farther back. I couldn't imagine sitting closer than the farthest position. In the extremely rare cases of hauling stuff and needing to move my seat forward a bit, I'm hating it the whole time.
Sorry, never noticed that you asked me a question here. Better late than never!

I'm 6ft1in ~ 6ft2in /180 lbs - and my seat isn't even in the furthest position in my Yaris. I probably have a weird definition of a comfortable seating position. My right knee sits up pretty close to where my key is inserted in the ignition.

Yeah, very different from what I'd call a comfortable seating position. Don't want to stray too far off topic, but it reminds me of the wash bowls at my sister's hair salon. Super comfortable for some, completely uncomfortable for me. Body shape/size has such a big impact on driving position. Also makes me think about how my better half is only 5' 1", but needs to put her car seat back like a gangster in a lowrider. She doesn't look like she's leaning that far back while driving, but I get in her car afterwards and can't see over the dash --and I'm 9" taller than her lol.

there is not exactly a really large amount of space to put a large arm rest. But I mean my armster basic is pretty comfortable tbh.
