8's enough

hey i just found a place to put my keys; it's the ignition you can turn them are the car starts making noise like it wants you to drive it.

billytkid

WTF?

I dont understand what you just said?!

8's enough

do the u.s models have an on off switch for air bags?

billytkid

Not sure - trying to see if Ive got a spare power socket!?

I think its EU law that the passenger airbag can be turned off - in case front baby holders are used

Maybe this switch is exchanged for the extra 12v socket in the EU?

will

No!

Is there any way to get a 12v supply to that compartment in the UK?

I must say this has been one of the better thread, humor is always good. I didn't know that there was a compartment there when I took my test drive, I thought it was just the track that the lid slid back on. A couple days later I was reading my manual, always neat things to figure out and seen it, so I went out and there it was, pretty cool. Did you notice the little hole that your power cord can pass through when you have the compartment closed. I keep my cell phone charger in the compartment with the cord coming through into the cup holder area and that is where I place my phone.

Is There Any Way I Can Get The Power Socket In The Compartment - In The Uk?

Hey you all, don't share this secret with anybody. I noticed that when you got one foot resting in the clutch and the other in the gas , a secret compartment (V shaped) appears between your legs. I have it full already but for some of you it will take a lot of things to fill it up.LOL
:D

mmaaax

HA HA Josh you should feel good! this is the funniest string ever!
I had a good salesman, he said as he handed me the keys "read the manual, you'll find all kinds of neat things"!
Now I'm coming up to 500 miles and I haven't even opened the book - every time I go to the car to read it, I just have to get in and DRIVE! :D

This thread proves most people keep their head in the secret compartment ....

The real (but not secret anymore) compartment is: the lower half of the black bezel, just under on/off button or above ac switch. Get a small pick and pull out. Then I used a 3" piece of black tape and put it on back side with a very small tab on front side to use as a "pull".. It is very stealth and great for wallets, keys. You can line the inside if you want custom! THE BEST KEPT NON SECRET now!.

The secret compartment is a lifesaver

pervious owner of my car left two marked sunglasses there.

not alone but whats really annoying is when the center console is loose. Every time you break it comes sliding forward into your drink
