looking for a mod for the compartment in the console

[useport80]

hey all,
i have an 08 urban runner and i hate the compartment directly below the ac/heat controls.

i can't even put a CD in there.. boo.

what do does every1 else use it for?

are there any mods for it?

yeah i put my iPod in there. its hidden but easy to get to. otherwise its pretty much a useless cubby.

I keep my weather alert radio in the compartment.

Gum, garage door opener, Giant Eagle fuel perks card, pen...basically anything small I don't want rattling around the cab but don't want to have to unbury deep in the center glove box.

I removed the storage bin completely and mounted my XM receiver there. Fits perfectly and the cutouts for the pocket's hinges/mounting tabs allow the cords to tuck away nicely under the center console and route to the aux jack in the armrest box.

I keep an LED flashlight in there, well I did until it got lost :bash:

But it works well for small things; Phone, iPod etc...

my blackberry charger goes in there along with my work badge and parking permit.

Other than ground clearance, this is my biggest gripe about my 4R....the storage layouts are pathetic, for lack of a better term.

Both this storage and the main armrest storage sucks.

I only put paper or parking permit, sometimes Ipod in this dash storage. It is such a waste of space.

As for the armrest, I wish they made it compartmentalized somehow so it is not just one big jumbled mess in there. I know some people have been custom making orgaizers for this storage, but that is not the point.

I like the XM receiver mod, what else are people replacing these insufficient spaces with?

I am outfitting the armrest interior with a built in holster and marry a handgun to it. I like the little fold out table. has come in handy.

I'd love to see some pics of this set up. I am looking to do the same to my T4R.

I put the most current gas recipt. Last fill up 9/19. I still have 1/4 tank. Have been on the mini bike to work the past few weeks. 82 mpg. Love it. I park it inside a shed at work so it's not in the sun. Pix - Had to work in Key West at the end of June and took it with me. 16hp of F U N.

Only have 47,000 miles on my 04.

I took the plastic door out and installed control heads for 2-way radios. They're like face plates that pop off your stereo except these have a cable that run to the guts of the radios that are installed under the passenger seat.

i usually put my cans of dip in there. can fit two cans of kodiak in that uselsess cubby. havent really found another use for it. i guess when and if i get to figure out how to hook up my ipod to the radio, then that is where it will go.
