    Hey guys,
    I hate the overhead console in my 2015. It has 2 useless sunglass holders, and I haven't even found a damn pair that fits in there yet. I seriously hate it. I want one with a temp/compass display. I need one from an '09-12 correct? Don't really care about the garage opener. Has anyone done this before? Any advice? I know I can't be the only one.

    Not sure what year they took the temp/compass out of the overhead console, but my 13 does not have it either(FYI). Sounds like mine is the same as yours. I do however have temp/compass in the rearview mirror. Maybe you need an 09- :notsure:.

    I thought it was just the 15. But it looks like @stmpjmpr doesnt have one in his '14 either... So maybe its the '09-12's that have it. My 2015 has the two sunglass spots and a plain Jane mirror. The last year of the 2nd gen and they remove all compass/temp features and the clock below the radio :facepalm:

    It's large and covers half the roof. It has more stage and a space for a radio too.

    Agreed on the 2015 Overhead sucking, I have to mash my sunglasses to fit in the rear spot, an earlier model sounds like a great idea.

    If anyone has a double sunglasses console they no longer need after upgrading let me know. I might need one for a project I'm working on.

    Let me know if you find one please!

    You can have mine if I find a new one

    Id rather have a glare than just a piece of unusable plastic up there. I wish the console was either super small and cut off after the map lights or really big and useful like the pic iggy posted. Right now it just feels like Im wasting all that space. Thanks for the input tho!
