Im a bonehead
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! |

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 :).

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. |
