New Storage Solutions


Recommended Posts

I've added a couple of storage tips (solutions?) to the Gadget Console Mod page posted earlier: https://www.gadgetjq.net/edge/console/console.html#more

More Storage Tips

If your co-pilot
is always looking for a spot to place their phone or you need a spot to keep small things take a look at this!  It's a drop in armrest_store_small.jpg'cup' that turns your front door handle into a storage space.  Double sided tape is pre-installed on the bottom if you choose to stick them in place or leave them loose to take your M&Ms with you. 
The padded (rubber) label with the Edge monogram sits loose on the bottom of the cup to make cleaning simple.  The photo (right) shows just the cup, on the left it's installed.

Great solutions!  BTW, I have used the seat tray to store my umbrella from day 1  :)


See how smart you are?  I live in the Desert Southwest so umbrellas aren't exactly top of mind items until monsoon season arrives.  That's when I'm usually asking the bride if she remembers where 'I' put the umbrella last summer ;)

These were delivered and installed today.  Pretty nice and will work very well, thanks for the heads-up on them!!

are there any storage solutions for 2011-14 models?


Tons!  You need to identify what you need then start searching for it.  eBay is a good place to start but there are so many specialty sites (Pinterest, Etsy, Instructables etc) now where people are selling lots of creative items.  If all else fails create your own solution.  Do the console mod!  That should work just as well for the 1st gen Edge.
Check out a few of these pages:

So, lets talk cell phones in DW new 2020 Edge ST. Because it does not have nav, we are using our cell phones. And you good GPS reception the phone is ending up on the rubber mat on the top of the center stack. I would be nice to route an USB extension up there. I looked a little at removing the glove box door to check on routing. 

 

Anyone have solutions or suggestions?

 

Thanks Chris

I might have a couple ;)

This phone holder is designed to sit right on top of the dash (where you're placing your phone now I think).  It's a clamshell that works well.  https://amzn.to/3eBJ7GZ

 

This one inserts into the CD player slot and holds the phone using a magnet.  A small steel plate mounts either to the back of the phone or between the phone and case: https://amzn.to/2Z9Ct4j

 

I made my own but it probably won't work for you.  Here's a link anyway: https://www.gadgetjq.net/edge/phone/phone_hold.html

 

Upside of all three, you don't lose an air conditioning vent to a phone mount.

 

Routing a cable gets easier the lower the phone is mounted but if you look at your console the two side panels can be easily removed (just held on with clips).  With the right side panel removed you can snake a USB cable from the center cubby (USB data ports) out to the passenger side for additional routing.

I found the 2020 cubby, as you call it, has a notch in the center console to allow cable to come out with the lid closed(right of center). Problem is DW does not like the cable going up over the front of the center stack.
