I've read a few people have a squeak from the centre console/arm rest. I've located this issue so thought it might be worth noting here in case anyone else has it or develops it. Mine has started to make this noise only in recent months, possibly temperature related or wear.
Part 10 in the link below is the latch where the prong in the arm rest lid slots into. This latch has some lateral play, which was making a squeak. I thought at the time it was the rubber either side of the prong but after placing some felt into the latch and getting it stuck, when prying out the felt with a small screwdriver, 'squeak'.. So for now I've popped a little spray lube on it which has quietened it, but I'll be taking out the cup holder/phone tray when the weather picks up and I'll post pics for anyone else annoyed by this noise when you move your arm around on the armrest lid. A few people on the US forum have found this helpful already.
