How do you use the empty compartment in centre console

I was wondering how do people use this empty compartment apart from modifying it to a double DIN. It not very useful for storing anything as is will most likely fall down when starting at the next traffic lights. I am thinking to place there the rare parking indicator screen but I am also after other simple to implement ideas.

I’ve got my heater controls in there and the space left is perfect for my phone... but I actually don’t put anything in there since my phone goes on a Steve B sticky dash mat instead!

A bit of tacky foam rubber stopped things falling out though.

I have my bluetooth, aux in, Sd and usb adaptor for the stereo and my phone in there. Am going to fit a wireless charging adapter next. Also will store those high vis vests some countries require by law to have inside the car.
 
XCarLink located in cubby with velcro pads along with Bluetooth button. Still room left for phone or glasses.

Use mine for sunglasses storage and occasional wallet. It also comes in handy as a stop for my phone. I open ash tray and lay my phone horizontally on it for google maps etc.

Great idea, had just been putting mine in tray underneath but resting it on the ashtray sounds much better.
 
I use this 4 usb and 3 cig lighter charger. I had to put double sided tape on top and bottom plus a bamboo coaster (was laying around) on the bottom so it's not moving. Maybe don't look as professional but I can't tell it's diy when I'm looking at it. Also you can purchase a single din dash pocket for it. Gonna be like a little drawer.

What's that white cable sticking out from behind larax? Is it to power the usb & lighter charger? Couldn't you have it hidden some way?

Yes it is for my phone. Once I got a clue where I want to keep my phone I will be hiding the cable behind the dash. Right now I just keep changing it's place.
 
As noted above, I find anything with some weight leaves the cubby whenever I make use of the remap(which is often judging by my fuel consumption). :) I have a plan to 3D print something though that's WAY down my list.
