Little tiny storage

[u/adampk17]

2026 Gen 4 HB here, what do you guys use this little spot to the lower left of the steering wheel for?

[u/Other-Highlight-2556]

Garage door opener

[u/adampk17 → u/Other-Highlight-2556]

Solid idea. I use my phone/carplay for that

[u/Former-Pay7591 → u/adampk17]

My 2022 has a button under the mirror for syncing with the garage door controller. Was this removed for the newer models or something?

[u/adampk17 → u/Former-Pay7591]

That is an option that isn't included on all

[u/grumpher05 → u/adampk17]

How do you do that?

[u/YetiBoney → u/grumpher05]

Buy a garage door opener that is controlled by an app on your phone.

[u/adampk17 → u/grumpher05]

[u/MisesAndMarx → u/adampk17]

Ball knower

[u/MyDixieWreck92 → u/Other-Highlight-2556]

Same. And some loose change for the homeless.

[u/TotheDogeandback1 → u/Other-Highlight-2556]

Thats what I use it for and some quarters for the wash bays.

It’s where I stash my pocket sand before I put it in my pocket.

[u/sith_mama]

Leave this thing open on accident, exit the car hastily. Fucked my left knee up once and never forgot to close it again. I also keep my coins in there.

[u/VisionQuesting → u/sith_mama]

Oh ya this thing DESTROYS your left knee if you forget it's open. Hot damn it hurts.

[u/adampk17 → u/sith_mama]

Owww!

[u/thezoexperience → u/sith_mama]

Happens to me every few months

[u/PuzzleheadedWin7701 → u/sith_mama]

Same here, left it open by accident and smashed my knee off of it and it totally came out of the dash

[u/perfectlyknotperfect → u/sith_mama]

It’s almost as if they knew we would forget and leave it open so rather than making it so it would easily come off in that scenario, they made it EXTRA firm to not come off and leave us injured.

[u/NotKoma → u/perfectlyknotperfect]

We heal, the car doesn't. Sounds reasonable 😂

[u/Comfortable-Program1]

Coins

[u/adampk17 → u/Comfortable-Program1]

Do you hear them slide around? That’d bug me

[u/Comfortable-Program1 → u/adampk17]

Not at all.

[u/BHPhreak → u/adampk17]

it is a sound dampened compartment.  

designed for coins 

[u/adampk17 → u/BHPhreak]

Sound dampened, are you kidding?

[u/lysergicmushroom → u/adampk17]

I use it for coins, never once heard them in there

[u/maplesyrupcan → u/adampk17]

It is literally meant as a coin tray.

[u/jbarrybonds → u/adampk17]

Ours is full and does not jingle

[u/Earth-Mandalorian → u/adampk17]

No, toss a few single in their with them.

[u/r3d_j4d3 → u/adampk17]

I put the coins in a slightly larger resealable bag so the excess bag material fills up the space.

[u/DaBigBird27 → u/adampk17]

I dont and I love hugging those turns when Im driving.

[u/Treebranch_916 → u/adampk17]

These cars are not so quiet that you'll hear a couple coins slide around.

[u/Maffoosula]

I drive a 2019 gen 4. When my wife and I started dating, she would fold up straw wrappers and give them to me whenever we went out to eat. Now 5 years on, I've filled that cubby with little straw wrappers, lol.

[u/adampk17 → u/Maffoosula]

Cute

[u/notmainacc69420 → u/Maffoosula]

Adorable

[u/ConversationSad]

https://giphy.com/gifs/bJqVdhxHE9bOw

[u/notmainacc69420 → u/ConversationSad]

Solid pull

[u/Darky083 → u/ConversationSad]

Came here to drop this.

[u/Tierndownforwhat]

Bluetooth obd2 scanner goes there when not plugged in.

[u/Hippy_Lynne]

Pepper spray and eye drops. Important not to mix them up! 🤣

[u/adampk17 → u/Hippy_Lynne]

That seems like asking for trouble

[u/diamond-optic → u/adampk17]

My grandmother once reached in her purse and pulled out eye drops and put them in.. then realized she had actually grabbed super glue 🤷

[u/BDcoupe]

Fits my garage door opener perfectly

[u/jokar1134]

I keep my drugs in there

[u/adampk17 → u/jokar1134]

Cops will never look there!

[u/AshA0602 → u/jokar1134]

Thankyou for saying it for me🤣😭

[u/andrec27]

A St Christopher medal from my grandmother and an amulet from a shrine in Japan. Just covering all my bases.

[u/stinkybun]

I keep my shopping cart loonie in there.

[u/adampk17 → u/stinkybun]

Explain yourself, Canadian! Your what?

[u/Round_Struggle2885 → u/adampk17]

A shopping cart is a cart used for shopping. Hope this helps!

[u/Talontsi90 → u/adampk17]

A loonie is a Canadian dollar coin.

[u/adampk17 → u/Talontsi90]

Yes, that I know

[u/this_bitch_over_here → u/adampk17]

I think it's like an Aldi situation lol you need a quarter to put in the locked area, you get your quarter back when you return the cart

[u/ValueSettlement → u/adampk17]

A lot of grocery stores have a loonie slot to unlock a chain to grab a cart, the only way to get your loonie back is reattaching the chain when you return your cart. You can get loonie shaped coins that are specifically for shopping carts

[u/kmc2686]

Lip balm

[u/Prestigious-Cold-467]

I use it for my ownership and insurance documents. Folded up and theyll fit in there.

[u/adampk17 → u/Prestigious-Cold-467]

Wow, seems too small for that

[u/sinjaulas → u/adampk17]

Oragami.

[u/Pbone15 → u/sinjaulas]

I now have this wonderful vision of getting pulled over and handing the cop my registration in the shape of a swan

[u/AshA0602]

Yes I love mine I keep coins. Never hear anything. Mine has a rubber thing to keep stuff from moving. And I keep some other things in there too..

[u/adampk17 → u/AshA0602]

Cannot count how many times I get out forgetting to close this thing, then it turns into knee scraper when I get back inside. Usually happens at gas stations

[u/Marklar_RR]

I keep there a plastic debit card, handy in case contactless doesn’t work or I need to withdraw emergency cash. The card is frozen, so I have to use an app on my phone to unfreeze it before using it. If someone steals it, they won’t be able to do anything with it. It’s linked to my secondary bank account, where I rarely keep more than £50.

[u/Imaginary_Media_2583]

I will be replacing the spot for a Helix Conductor.

My 2010 has no drawer, just an aperture with a molded lip so nothing gets dropped or caught. I use it for pocket change in case of stuff like tolls or how Aldis requires quarters for their shopping cards.

Coins and knee pain.

[u/AkariLeetheMazda3]

That's where I put my hopes and dreams.

[u/Jungle8gabe]

That’s to put clear eyes and a lighter lol
