Hi. I have a really annoying situation with my RX 450. I'm pretty sure my drivers license slipped down behind the cover for the drink holder in the center console. The cover was open and I put my drivers license there until I could get my purse open and it slipped down under the cup holder.

I looked around underneath with a flashlight and couldn't find any way to access that area.

I don't hold out great hope of being able to retrieve my drivers license, but I thought I'd give it a shot before I make the time-consuming trek to the DMV to get another.

 

Not a big deal - just drive as fast as you can and when get pulled over just say you dropped your license and it fell underneath the cup holders. If the officer really wants to see it that bad, he'll help you take the thing apart for free.

 

i can't wait for you to try that here in California
you'll probably end up, stepping out the vehicle, placed in cuffs and they let you sit on the gutter while they searched the whole vehicle.

 

Here's a thread that may help you, especially the console removal screws.

Here's one specifically for the cup holder.

Hope these links help. Good luck.

If you can see the driver's license, maybe you can wrap some masking tape backwards, sticky side out, on something thin like a dinner knife, slip the sticky knife into the slot and somehow get the license to stick to the tape on the knife. This is the technique for removing a stuck CD from a car player.
Hope this helps.

This happened to me a while back. I made a thread titled "My Car Ate My Cell Phone."

The phone fell between that small space by the cup holder. I took it to the dealer. They removed the center console and charged me $50.
