This thread is great and full of tricks, thank you all!
I found something! While I was putting things in the glove box I noticed a wired circular ****, by looking in the manual, in turns out that you can convert the glove box into a mini fridge! Only if you’re having AC on.
I’m not sure what I can use it for but a cool feature that I can brag about

Less of a fridge...more of a way to store things like make-up so it won't melt...or some occasional candies!

It's an advice I got from both State and local cops many years ago. If you have more than one driver just make copies for each.
That's sound advice! Still holds a pen and I can use the clip for parking tickets!

Little thing that could have been better. Coin holder in the glove box. Quarters do not stay put - not even the right size. A better solution would have been a spring loaded gun clip style holder in the center console, just for quarters would be fine. Those familiar with Acura TSX will know exactly what I am talking about.

Those are slots for SD cards, but I do agree that it would be nice to have some sort of coin storage system.

Hmmm - I've rarely used coins/cash for years. In Australia, most parking ticket machines use credit cards and pay-wave has become fairly universal recently. I would've guessed we followed the US on this?

So, the nifty little centre console tray I got from Amazon following a tip on this site has its coin-holder populated "for decoration only". BTW, hardware stores here sell rolls of black flock stick-on stuff that is magic for stopping the tray from rattling in the console and for stopping coins rattling in the coin-holder.

I rarely have to use change or any sort of cash, but credit cards cost businesses a small percentage of the purchase price and some small shops charge extra when charging under a certain amount. Using cash saves them a bit of money, so it's helpful to keep some change in my car.

SD cards - hmmm - why so many slots? I put a 128gb and a 32gb in the two slots with all FLAC coded music - I think that equals nearly 18 hours of music. That's about 1000 miles of driving with a repeat!

Quarters still come in handy most parking meters still take quarters. Also, one needs a quarter to release a cart from its jail at Aldi's grocery chain
