Take anyone else a month before they noticed the compartment just below the dimmer switch? LOLOL. I am such a bonehead. I was installing my first mod today (two addtional 12v outlets inside the compartments on left and right of AC controls) and I always thought that compartment was the cover for the fuses. To my surprise I went to check a fuse and now I have another compartment to hold stuff. YAY!

Took me a week to notice it. Also felt kind of dumb.

Now it's loaded with those large, individually wrapped peppermint Lifesavers!

Same here, lol, like a month before i noticed it. I just wish i had 3 glove boxes :(

Also for some reason the part right under the steering wheel comes down if you pull it.

Is that maybe the locking lever for raising and lowering the steering wheel.

It is on our LB.

He might be talking about the panel underneath the steering wheel. A gentle tug and it swings down... it gives you access to things like the DRL box.

hmmm....I bet some creative person could mount a plastic compartment in that space. Looks like there is a bit of room behind that panel. Would be great for hiding the Ipod and PDA. Could even be a locking panel.

I noticed it the 2nd day I had my car while on my way over to Hartford, CT. Used it to hold my toll tickets :).

Anything is possible with enough THIS COLOR

It't a perfect size and space for my sunglasses.

We are weird I know but we only pay cash for gas and keep a little pouch of money in there. Heck I probably still wouldn't know about it if I hadn't read that part of the manual.

Hey, don't make fun, I just found my thrid glove box 2 days ago (had the car for 3 weeks now) I was wondering what that little 'dibbit' just to the left of the steering wheel was, and before I knew it, the dash lifted up and wammo.. another compartment. It works nice on sunny days.. I can fit my Garmin c330 in there and it blocks most the sun and keeps a signal.. kinda dorky keeping it open when I'm driving, but it works well.

I've thought about shaving out a little bit of the back of the box so I can mount it in there and shut the door when I'm not using it.

i had a friend once who owned a hyudai accent for three years, we road in it all the time, well there was a compartment like the yaris's under the a/c heater switches, and there was this slide out cup holder thingy right under the stereo that made that compartment into cupholders. we went three years holding our drinks in his car until he started going out with this one girl, who owned a newer version of the accent, she got in pulled that slider right out and put her drink in it. automatically all of our mouths dropped and we all started laughing. she had no idea what we were laughing at. she thought we were a bunch of retards after we told her our story.

and thanks the wife now knows about yet another place to but her crap in that car.:laugh:
