ISUZU AMIGO CROSS-REFERENCE WARNING
The previous listing identifies this assembly as fitting a 1999 Isuzu Amigo. The Amigo is a 2-door application, but the supplied photographs do not show a readable physical reference number that independently proves the complete assembly interchange. For this reason, 1999 Isuzu Amigo is not being advertised here as an independently confirmed fit. Amigo buyers should only order after matching the complete console shape, mounting points, switch layout, electrical plugs and physical reference number.
NOT CONFIRMED / DO NOT ORDER BY MODEL NAME ALONE
Vauxhall / Opel Frontera A Different generation — not listed as compatible
Modern Frontera models Completely different vehicle generation — will not be assumed compatible
Isuzu Amigo 1999 appears in the previous listing, but full assembly interchange needs physical number/photo verification
Isuzu Rodeo / Rodeo Sport Some related components are shared across the platform family, but this complete console is not being advertised as confirmed
Honda Passport Related platform component numbers exist, but complete console fitment has not been sufficiently verified
Other Frontera engines / specifications Do not assume fitment without matching the physical reference, mounting and electrical layout

WHAT DOES THE CONSOLE DO?
This centre-tunnel assembly forms the factory-style storage and driver/passenger convenience area between the front seats. It provides the armrest and cup-holder/storage area and also acts as a mounting structure for electrical switchgear and connectors on vehicles fitted with the corresponding specification.
SWITCH FUNCTION: The actual item includes electrical rocker switches / switch positions as photographed. Their exact function can vary according to vehicle equipment. Match your existing switch layout and plugs rather than assuming a function from appearance alone.

CONDITION & WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
This is a pre-owned original vehicle-sourced component. Expect age-related cosmetic marks consistent with removal, storage and previous installation.
Visible wear is present to the armrest covering/pad and should be assessed carefully in the photographs. The underside also carries a handwritten salvage/stock marking. That handwritten marking is not a manufacturer part number and must not be used to determine compatibility.
Electrical switches and connectors are supplied only where shown in the photographs. Unless a separate test result is expressly stated in the listing, do not interpret inclusion of a switch as a separate guarantee that every vehicle-specific switch function has been bench-tested.
COMMON REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT
• Cracked or damaged moulded console plastic
• Broken mounting tabs or fixing points
• Console sitting loose or rattling while driving
• Damaged cup holder or storage section
• Worn, torn or damaged armrest pad
• Loose or damaged armrest hinge
• Broken switch mounting openings
• Damaged electrical connector retaining points
• Original console no longer sitting securely on the centre tunnel
WHY CHOOSE AN ORIGINAL VEHICLE-SOURCED PART?
A correctly matched original vehicle-sourced component was designed around the vehicle's original centre-tunnel geometry, fixing locations, trim interfaces, switch apertures and connector packaging.
That can make it a better choice than a cheap pattern copy that may require trimming, adaptation, transferred brackets or compromise the original interior appearance.
VALUE BENEFIT: On selected vehicle components, pre-owned vehicle-sourced parts can cost up to around 70% less than buying a new equivalent. Actual savings vary by component, condition, availability and current new-part pricing.
FITTING GUIDE
General guide — exact sequence can vary by specification:
1. Park safely, switch the ignition off and remove the key.
2. If applicable, make sure any radio/security information required after battery disconnection is available.
3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before unplugging console-mounted electrical connectors.
4. Move the front seats as required to improve access around the centre tunnel.
5. Photograph the original connector positions and cable routing before dismantling.
6. Carefully release the relevant trim and visible console fixings using suitable trim tools and hand tools.
7. Release the rear console / armrest section from the main centre-console assembly as required.
8. Disconnect electrical plugs by holding the connector bodies — do not pull on wiring.
9. Before installation, place both parts side-by-side and compare every fixing, plug, switch opening and moulded shape.
10. Transfer any reusable clips or fixings required from the original assembly.
11. Reconnect wiring, position the replacement assembly and hand-start all fixings before tightening.
12. Refit trim, reconnect the battery and confirm correct operation of all disturbed electrical equipment.
If the installation requires removal of additional dashboard, radio, gear-lever or transfer-lever trim, use the appropriate workshop procedure for your exact vehicle. If you are not comfortable working around automotive wiring and trim, professional installation is recommended.
TYPICAL TOOLS REQUIRED
Plastic trim-removal tools Helps release interior trim without unnecessary marking
Cross-head screwdriver For applicable interior trim screws
Small metric socket / ratchet set For applicable console fixings
Small flat screwdriver / pick For suitable trim clips or connector locks — use carefully
Battery-terminal spanner For safe battery disconnection where required
Inspection torch Useful for checking underside fixings and connectors
Exact fastener sizes can differ by specification, previous repairs and installed trim, so inspect your vehicle before beginning rather than relying on an assumed bolt size.
ESTIMATED REPAIR / FITTING TIME
Rear console / armrest section only: approximately 0.5–1.0 hour.
If broader centre-console access is required: approximately 1.0–1.5 hours.
Planning guide only — not a manufacturer labour-book time. Corroded fixings, previous repairs, trim condition, electrical equipment and workshop experience can change the actual time.

RETURNS — PLEASE CHECK FITMENT BEFORE INSTALLATION
We want customers to receive the correct part first time, which is why this listing includes detailed fitment guidance, photographs, reference numbers and a buyer matching checklist.
Before permanently installing the component, compare it against your original part. Do not modify, drill, cut, paint or alter the item until compatibility has been fully confirmed.
Any return should be sent back complete, securely packaged and in the same condition in which it was received. Where eBay policy permits, a deduction may be made for the actual loss in value caused by installation, alteration, damage, missing components or inadequate return packaging.
If you are unsure about compatibility, contact us through eBay before purchase. We would rather check your part than have you order the wrong version.
