Yesterday with 5 minutes to kill , reclined the seat in the RAV, and I was surprized to see an openning under the steering wheel. I put my hand in it and was surprised to find it was a storage compartment. (':lol:')
 
Wow, I just ran outside to see what you were talking about. I thought you were referring to the little bin on the left. I thought I knew the car pretty well. Great find! I love finding new things in a car. They REALLY designed the car to utilize every inch very well. What would you put there though?

After reading this, I was sure, that this compartmend does not exist in the european version. But 5 minutes ago I visited my RAV and looked for this compartment and ... it is there!

What would you put there though?
Could it be placed there for storing the RAV owners manual???

Thanks ronbo !!! :D :D :D

To answer TheWorkMule "what would you keep there?" pen, notebook, tire guage, maps, etc. I had the vehicle 8 months and I never knew the compartment was there. The shallow compartment in the back under the floor mat, I quess it's there for a fold-up triangle trouble sign. I keep my California Water Blade in it.(':)')
 
The hardcover case for the stock Panasonic stereo's removeable faceplate on the Cdn Chili Edition fits there perfectly.....like it was made for it...... 8)
 
What? :D you just found that out :oops: I have known about this little compartment from day 1, I was looking for the AC vents which had existed in my 4.1, only to find the nice little pocket, I too use it for the removable face plate, you can also put a pen or a flash light as mentioned earlier!

I am glad you found it though, very convenient.
 
I used that space to put my bluetooth handsfree loudbox. Sounds great from there!
 
I'd trade that tray for the above mentioned A/C vents that were in the 4.1 any day....... That vent was the greatest when wearing shorts on a hot humid day..................................................... :roll: :wink:
I'll say no more..............

Do you not have the sunglass holder that comes down up by the rear view mirror, its in the headlining, mines next to the electric sunroof button.... 8) 8)

Keep my spare bluetooth headset in my compartment under stearing wheel....Also ideal to hide my sweets from the wife and daughter :p :p :p
 
you can put your weeeeeed in it!






















no, really, just kidding - guess I've watched a few too many Adam Sandler movies =)
