Storage above 8.4 screen in rebel

[Tones1975]

I'm wondering if anybody knows what the slot in the back of the little storage area above the 8.4 screen is intended for? The 12v plug is up there too.

I find that I can put my phone in that slot, especially sideways.

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure because my galaxy note 9 won't fit sideways and won't fit in the slot standing up without the case taken off.

Dust.

Who knows what they intended? I was intrigued one day when I lifted out the rubber insert. There are a couple raised bosses that look like they could easily take a self-tapping screw. Pop out the lighter and you have a 12V feed and an opening to thread wiring through. I could see some enterprising person with the skills and 3D printer making a switch module to fit there.

Would be interesting to see something what that space could be used for. I tried leaving my phone in there and it went flying in the first corner. Lol

I am definitely keeping my pen up there. Lol. I'll never find it in the bin.

My dash gets so hot so putting a pen in there and it may explode/leak....no thanks.

Yeah same discussion we had in another thread, too.

Pen's and sunglasses for me too

Mechanical pencil. That way it will always work no matter how hot/cold (pens don't handle the winters well here).

Maybe someone with a 3D printer can make one of these for the 2019/2020:

That is where I place my E-ZPass. I know, you're suppose to put it on the windshield but I just haven't gotten around to getting a replacement sticker for the now really old E-ZPass unit.
