    I'm assuming it's for keys (fob) due to keyless start. Or the only other reasonable answer would be secret Russian documents

    That's where I put my mailbox key. The little rubber mat is nice - keeps it from rattling.

    It's a social experiment from Toyota - to monitor how many people are confused by this item as well as what creative uses develop. They take bets to see how many pages this thread will go to.

    Next up for the 4th gen is a small mound on the top of the dash - probably good for a 40 or 50 page thread...

    Wow AWESOME ..... Thank You ....... Excellent Write up ...... Greatly Appreciated .... All the parts are ordered from Amazon ....... I will let you know how "my" project goes ..... there are 3 buttons on the new controller so hopefully I can get some wires attached to at least one of them without melting the whole thing ...... LOL

    My TRD OR has sunglasses holder in upper console. I assume it's because I have a manual tans.
    I didn't think about brake controller in that slot. I'll be doing that.

    Read on another post that it could be for a future OEM trailer brake controller.

    Here's a photo of the Tundra factory brake control. Maybe this is where Tacoma is headed with that dash space?[​IMG]

    Yes, THAT would be awesome for me .... so I don't have to drill and mount one underneath.

    I don't need to see my radio when I drive, since one side is on a memory bank that I know by heart and the other is set for APRS. Balsa block is a loose press fit. I'll probably add a small piece of foam tape and cover it in black fabric. I need to trim the bolt, too.

    Not possible. The tundra controller uses the multi display to change settings. Communication between the display and controller is through the CAN network.

    My 2010 Taco has a very handy change drawer...The 'improved' 2016 has the little cubby in this thread...so great ideas for it's use. The Kenwood radio is the best idea yet. Being a Ham you always wonder where to put the radio. Can't wait to try this, mine is to be built on 11/30 - Clay aka K7CR
