I keep my coin for car washes, parking meters, and grocery cart 'deposit' in there.

I keep coins and also have the house alarm controller in there. Just press the button to disarm. Don't have to punch in the code.

My question is: What switch goes in the blank spot on the right of the door mirror adjustment control?

I keep a small tape measure in there as I find it useful when shopping and the need for measurements...

Quarters for parking meter. Oh and my little gym keychain pass lol. A tape measure sounds like a good idea too

Here in the Middle East we have the electric / automatic folding exterior mirrors and the switch goes in that place.

Same here.. just stick coins in there.. but honestly it's in a bad location.. especially if your right handed. and of course if you're like me you will sometimes forget to close it.. oh you'll remember the next time you get back in the car and bust your right knee on it...

Quarters for the meter. But here in NYC for a few years now we have had parking meters that take credit card and an app that you can use to pay for parking. So the coins just stay there until i need to put air in my tire.
