Perfect Use of the Dash Side Secret Compartment

[EastonTaco]

Found a good use of the dash side secret compartment. Perfect place for an emergency flasher I found at Home Depot for $9.95. It’s really bright at night. Just had to place a small piece of velcro behind it to keep it from rattling and it holds it in place when the compartment cover is removed.

Does anyone have any other ideas for this compartment?

Toyota makes a couple of options for that compartment. Key holder, a light and Leatherman type setup. Give it time and the aftermarket should have some better choices.

Do you happen to have any links or part numbers for the multi tool or flashlight?

I ask because I've heard mention of them, but have yet to actually see any real information about them. And yes, I searched.

ERMAHGERD they actually exist!

Thank you for posting, I will likely see how the items are reviewed once they are available (looks like 6-8 weeks) before I decide what to buy.

Oh for sure. I wouldn't actually buy OEM parts or accessories from them, but if they are listing it now it's a good sign that everyone else will also have it available soon.
