Double door center console benefits??

[kizamybute']

Realized today that having to close two doors every time I open the center console is seemingly pointless?

Wondering if there's any logical reason they chose to spit it in half instead of putting in a standard rear hinge single door? Maybe there was a specific reason for it? I just can't figure it out.

If I could just open one or the other, wouldn't be bad for reaching in for the small things. But, press the button and they both open and have to close each one individually. Not a real big deal, but just one of those things I can't figure out the thinking behind?

Curious if any others even noticed, cared or had any thoughts on it?

I notice the same thing with the garage home link being two taps away instead of one. Hoping someday they offer the ability to add direct links / icons to the bottom or top row so we can configure the particular items we use most to be just a single tap away. Just another items that requires two steps instead of one.

I really like the split design, but I am sure it cost alot more to implement than a simple single back hinge with a mechanical plastic front latch like so many vehicles have.

And regarding the garage doors, I would just love it if they could add a feature that would allow me to open multiple doors with one selection after the first tap of the icon top of screen. I.e. a "open all doors selection". Then it could trigger all devices that are being controlled at once.

My wife can go into the console without me lifting my arm off the armrest. It's brilliant.

Yeah that's a big plus to the split design honestly. Having a single rear hinge armrest limits what I will put in there because you have to have your arm off it completely to get anything. Also the fact that it goes vertical towards the rear means the driver has to sort of chicken wing their arm to get anything out.
