Hi Kids,
anyone tinkered with the ash tray yet to convert into a usable cubby space? Carson Toyota has an official kit but it's * gasp * $185!

Not sure if you are aware but you can take the ashtray out (by pressing a lever and it will lift out)and you will have a small but usable storage space. I keep my business cards in there.

Well, looks like Mr Kensteele is the only one so far to cough up the 185 bucks for the mod...gotta say my wife would probably kick me in the groin while I'm asleep if I ever mentioned picking up that little tray.
Hey, maybe we can do a group buy and lower the price to $150?

Purchased mine in Japan, don't have the recipt handy but I think I payed $108.00. It comes with the divider for two tier storage. Pretty easy using doubled up credit cards to ease out the side trim pieces and a philips screw driver to remove the ash tray. Very useful for someone who doesn't smoke.

I might be up for it, if the price was lower. Ken, someone on my.IS did an ipod install, but may not be what you were looking for:
