Hey folks,
Assuming the fancy models have something exciting here .... we don't :(
So - this got me thinking - has anyone done anything cool with this area? We thought about maybe using that are for something ... but don't know what lol.
Any ideas? If you have pics, even better!

Some have fitted gauges in three, others have fitted ram mount attachments, I like the idea of an ejector seat button or rockets launcher toggles

Thanks Clunk - rocket launcher button sounds great!
It just seems to useless for us, there must be some way to make better use of it! Ponder Ponder
Any pics - plz post :)

It's where the factory GPS unit goes.
I like the RAM mount in the back so you can mount an iPad GPS when touring.

I've got a ram mount on the back wall inside holding my ipad and a dual USB plug and when not I use can detach the ram mount and close the lid. Ill put up a pic later

the ipad in this position blocks no vision and is verry solid with no movement

I've got my EGT gauge and RAM mount in there. Not perfect but it's used :) I used to keep WD40 in there to use when I hear that grinding noise from the passenger seat, never seemed to work :( :)

Like the pics! Thanks all :)
Was thinking about replacing the factory stereo with double din stereo/satnav/reversing camera, which then left us wondering where to put the CB. So might rethink that idea now. Cheers folks!

The sunies holder is useless, I like the look of that though, well done.

Further to this post, we opted to put a customer made volt-meter under the centre console flap. We added a switch to it, so can swap between the main and aux batteries to see the voltage, both on the move and when we are parked up. It's come in very handy after a week away in Streaky Bay, as it's our first trip running a fridge.
We also got a CB with all the controls on the hand piece, so the unit has been fitted under the armrest/storage in the centre, which seems to work nicely :)
Might use the sunglasses holder for something .... not sure what yet though :P
