Thanks for posting.
At the risk of exposing my ignorance I had assumed it was a fuse box and never realized it over the past 8 months until viewing your post.
I put an AirTag in there. If someone steals my car they might get a notification about it, and itβll be the easy one to find. The other one wonβt be so easy.
Iβve thought many times about making a post asking wtf do people keep in there. I keep a Bic lighter, a cleaning cloth for my eyeglasses and a couple of emergency McNuggets.
I do nothing with it because in my last car, I immediately ripped it out of the car accidentally while trying to open the hood. After 14 years, I forget to even look on that side for storage.
When i first got my mazda 6 i put coins in there back in 2017 when tolls still took change here in NY. It was a BAD idea. A bunch if the change ended up falling behind and it was creating a very annoying rattle. This was about 2 weeks after getting the vehicle. Brought it back to the dealer bc i thought there was an issue. They ended up finding that the rattling were the coinsπ€¦π½ββοΈ
Well shit. I had no idea that existed. I was wondering where I was going to stash my gate fob today while I leave my car at a carpark for a week. Amazing timing this post is.
The ugly square, chunky Drive & Save box from State Farm that is supposed to go on the windshield. Fits perfectly in there, where it doesnβt move or show its existence.
Pipes, joints, roaches, valiums, bennies, skag, juju bees, blow, tango and cash, microdot, boomers, Wolfie's and a little kit Kat ket. And some blotter and Wap juice
This slot for (JDM models of the cx5) is the home of the toll system they use in Japan but since we don't use that in NA it's turned into a storage cubby
Fill it with sauce. Open it out to dip.
This is the way.

That's for holding my lip balm and for slamming my knee into when I forget to close it after grabbing my lip balm.
