Drawer in Console?

RBW111 · 03-28-2005, 03:00 PM

Anyone have a creative use for the drawer in the front of the console? Unsafe to get into while driving. You can't even see it! Must be good for something.

The drawer in front of the console (I didn't discover it until a month after getting the car) is PERFECT for a box of tissue (preferably one that is from recycled material, i.e. Seventh Generation).

I didn't find it for about a month either. And still haven't figured out what to use it for. Tissue is a good idea. Can't find any tissue packaging that will fit in the right spot IN the console.

Isn't it COOL to keep discovering good surprises in your new Prius? The really nice thing, is you will continue to make pleasant discoveries.

:idea: The console drawer is my space for computer screen "wipes" and eyeglass cleaning microfiber cloths to clean the MFD (Multi Function Display) screen.

I've been using it to keep a bunch of maps.

I routed the wired remote control for my subwoofer into the drawer. It's perfect - out of sight, but easily reached.

It also might be a good spot to hide stuff from your spouse, since apparently, nobody knows about it.

I read about that drawer before I picked up my car. It is where I store my (thankfully rarely used) ice scraper. For obvious reasons I don't need to access it while driving, so no safety problem there.

Tollway transponder is the only thing in there. I don't drive on the tollways much anymore so I rarely need it and when I do, I'm basically driving in a straight line so there's not much to distract me from.

Tony, I've found that the transponder still works when on the top shelf in the glove box. No need to take it out and 'wave it around' while driving through the tollbooth.
