square hole in 01-04 cup holders?

So i got my 01-04 center console from a member on here. Didnt have the cup tabs, so i ordered new ones from the dealer. (they cost $6 by the way...)

Anyway, theres a weird square hold in my cup holders.




What the hell is that square for?

 

i think its supposed to be like a coin holder thingy

 

there is supposed to be a tiny square cup... its horrible for change and pretty much anything else lol

 

maybe good for loonies and toonies (canadian) anything smaller and its a hassle to get lol

 

Oh awesome...

Has anyone modded anything to fit there? Perhaps a phone holder?

 

i saw a guy disassemble a cb radio and put it so the handheld connector comes out in the square

 

Someone put a female USB connection there and ran it to the back of their aftermarket stereo.

 

That square hole is for a power inside rear view mirror switch. Get yourself 2 coin holders out of a 2nd gen 4runner they will fit nicely with a small gap I did this to my 02 taco.

 

Mine has a little change holder filling that hole. I use it for holding the screws whenever I take the center dash console apart.

 

I'd really like to find a way to mount a phone bracket in there.

my old console had a rectangular slot (with the shitty square chinese take-out cupholders), and that fit my phone perfectly.

I'm interested to hear anyone elses mods

 

I can fit about 20 pennies in mine. Works good for them. No quarter's they won't fit.

 

Yeah I have my transfercase shifter there

 

That little piece you're missing is completely useless.

Here's someone who added a USB charger in that spot.

I've seen others run their CB female port there, and another who put a switch there (for something I can't remember)

 

That's what I did

 

i put a switch for my auxiliary reverse lights there. who carries change anyways??

 

Hey, at least you have cup holders, my '00 has 1 stupid square type opening that is about useless for anything but change,even then its a pain in the ass to get out of..

 

That's where my bass control knob so I can turn my subs up for more or less bass

 

mine has the whole filled with a change holder but i dont use it for anything.

it more just collects dirt and becomes a pain the in the ass to clean

 

I fill mine with lead sinkers and heady crystals!

 

The first rule of square hole is you do NOT talk about square hole!

I like the 4Runner change holder idea, but mine already has a change holder in the main console interior (I thought it was stock? maybe not?) It'd be the perfect place to put the CB mike hookup - might pursue that one!

Also, it'll hold the cap to a whiskey bottle perfectly, which is handy...always losing those things...
