How do you utilize the extra glove compartment? - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

chew246214 · 10-09-2009, 03:24 AM

Hey I want all those places to store stuff... I had to buy a sedan for my son, but wouldn't you think in a car "set up" for a little family they would give you more places to store stuff? From the second I sat in the car the first time I was wondering if I should just put a notebook and pen on the dash in front of me... It feels like a desk so why not make it one? Then I was trying to figure out why they didn't make it storage to the point I looked under the dash to see if it was all cluttered with computers and it wasn't... Didn't know untill I came across this thread in the hatches the same area is used as gloveboxes... bummer.... wonder if the dashes are interchangable?? Be a pain and costly but wonder if able to be done?

I will mention, if it hasn't already been in the last 6 pages, that the passenger side upper compartment stores two beer bottles nicely for when you need to transport some drinks (unopened, of course) from one location to another and don't want them shaking around in the trunk.

I installed the head unit (control panel/display) for my yaseu ft7800r amatuer mobile 2 way radio

The bottom one is documentation, the top one is CDs.

Was thinking of getting that radio for a long time now - how do you like it?

41magmag41 · 10-17-2009, 02:46 PM

sigh, don't have the second one in my sedan, wish I did.

N2scouting · 10-17-2009, 06:29 PM

I really enjoy amatuer radio. The new IRLP technology allows me to talk around the world on 5 watts using a local repeater. Dayton Ohio has the worlds largest Amatuer radio convention in May. I would be glad to show you around. You could even take your license exam and purchase your first radio at the show. "73" (HAM lingo for best wishes)

I use the drivers glove box for my lisence, registration, and insurance card. But get this. I use the left cupholder (closed) for my swipe card to open the gate at work. PERFECT!

DandiDani · 10-17-2009, 09:32 PM

registration.i put my phone in the cup holder.

Impossible to put anything in that drivers side glove box as it will get soaked with spilled coffee.

MUSKOKA800 · 10-18-2009, 09:58 AM

My sedan doesn't have that compartment but if did it would be a great place to store a can of WopAss.

Any pics of this install? Is it distracting to use the radio with the glove
box door open? I've been thinking about what I could install in there. The
more the general public knows about this hiding place the less I want to
have something valuable in there.

I put my gps there, very convenient, don't even need a mount to use it, and i just close it when i park so no thief would walk by and break my windows to steal it. Much more convenient than popping it off of its mount and placing it in my glovebox every time. Plus its illegal where i come from to mount it on the center windshield.

keep sunglasses , cds , gas mileage log book , and computer screen cloth in them . The cloth works great for wiping dust from dash and interior of car thanks to the fibers and static . Line the upper compartment(s) with the white spongy rubber lining used for kitchen drawers . Keeps sun glasses and other items from sliding around in it .
