I have taken out the cigarette lighter and in that small part, I keep quarters. In the large 'ash tray' part, I usually toss my cel phone so it doesn't fly off the passenger's seat.

The front ashtray is used for coins, ther rear ashtray(back of console) I turned into a light, since I have a convertible this addition has done wonders for backseat illumination when the top is up.
Supreme Member
Its wired into the rearview mirror/underdash lights so it comes on when the door is opened or when the dash switch is turned to the dome light position.Its a rear cargo area lamp assembly I picked up at a boneyard, I cut some plastic out of an old underdash cover to fill the opening the ashtray left, then cut a piece out of that to fit the light into. The result looks factory.

Hey you have my radio! Not many people do lol
I use my ashtray for... let's see:
Coins
Timeslips
Interior screws that came off my car but I can't find where
Dome light bulb (I have red neons in my car wired to the interior lights so I pulled it)
Ashes (Even though no-one smokes in my car...
)
I pulled my rear ashtray to put a cigarrette lighter recepticle for my Playstation.

LOL that is cool! How much did yours cost *just wonderin what it retails for*? I got it very lightly used for 100 bucks from a guy at my work.... Does yours kinda have problems with the buttons? mine works fine, but works a lot easier with the remote, so i primarily use it...


I paid $199 new for it at Best Buy. Yes my buttons would stop working or dothe wrong thing... I cleaned the faceplate and the receiver and it fixed it.

Change and cell phone sits on top of the change.

I either use nothing or stick my phone in it putting some cash in there aint a half bad idea just in case you need to bribe a cop or something,

Junior Member
well no one is allowed to smoke anything in my car which really tends to **** people off. I removed the asstray and lighter so as not to temp people. I fill it now with quarters though. And who ever said it adds up is right. I got like 30 bucks outta there. Lol also I keep my cell phone lodged between the console and e-brake. I thought I was the only one that was that ghetto. I could always buy one of those type-r cell phone holders but I would then have to cut off my nuts with a rusty nail clipper..........
Supreme Member
good luck on the rusty nail clipper.....
I dont think Ive even opened mine? Ive heard 1 too many storys of the spring breaking and then you cant shut it. If it was for anything, it would be a recesed gauge pod or for switches.

A storage tray for the cigarette lighter when I use the 12VDC plug-in for my phone charger... then it's empty when I'm done.
Senior Member
I have the fan and lock up switches in there. I also have room for the line lock if I ever get around to putting it in. Very clean and you'd never know anything was there with it closed.


Senior Member
I use mine to hold a bunch of quarters.
Coins for the Car Wash/ Car Hop and those screws.
Member
i use mine as a candy dish, nah, actually for ash
i just got a 4th gen auto console in it, and there's no room for the ash tray... i can just see my transmission cords.
Supreme Member
Here I thought I was being clever putting a switch in my ashtray :-( Anyway my lockup switch for my 700r4 was in there, going to have to find a new use for it now that the 700's gone :-P
Member
NOTHING! I had to empty out my entire console b/c everything made rattle noises when my subwoofers hit
Member
i put my remote in there, I put my keys in there once for some reason than closed it, couldnt find my keys for like a day lol

SuperchargedRS's story reminds me of one time i put my drivers liscence in the ashtray and it fell through to underneath the radio, that was interesting.

[Not that I would endorse drug use but throw em out the window. less evidence when you cross 4 lanes backwards.]
But no really, I put my shrimp tails in the ash tray.

I put my cell phone in there so theres a radio sound distraction during to waves near the reciver.. otherwise my exhaust would be to loud to hear someone calling
