How many of you guys know that the center console on the Max has two compartments? I found out about it probably after 6 months after I bought the car. I was quite surprised...now I keep all my change in there.

 

yep, i think it was mentioned the top thin compartment would hold a cell phone and a recharging cord can be run out the back to the outlet behind the armrest.

 

THAT I did not know. But sounds good, I'm gonna see if I can do that.

 

you mean the thing that pops up? that thing can go back?

 

What do you mean that thing can go back?

The pop up thingy is not at all obvious unless you read the manual, the dealer showed you, or a friend showed you. I found it by accident trying to get to the main cubby.

 

oooh, but theres a BIG button up front.

PIC 2

 

o crap... i remember i did that once and thought i broke it!! didnt know it was there on purpose.

thanks for the info/pics

 

LOL First time I did it I thought I broke it too.

I didn't notice it before, but looking at pic #2, it's clear that there is a groove on the left side of the thingy that you can rout a cord through.

 

I was wondering what the heynow they were thinking when they designed that. What can you possibly put there, besides your stash?

 

Supposedly you can stuff a cellphone in there and run a power cord out the side to the plug in the back of the console...will probably try that later today. I've been keeping all my change in there, holds like $10 in change

Damn mechanics stole all my change

 

SHHHH Thats my secret spot.....

I used to hide "things" in there that cops werent able to find

 

unless they have a maxima

 

I have been logging into www.maxima.org since July 01 when I bought my 01 SE and I've learned so much about my car including this new secret compartment descovery. Thanks Guys.

Not to sound mean or anything but the compartment is fairly obvious. Especially if you use the function to make the top part sit up higher. Yes it can also do that if you didn't know that either.

 

 

Okay, so I tried to open the bugger today (I've done it before) and I just couldn't get it open. What's the magic combination? I pulled out the manual and everthing. I feel like a moron.

 

no button to push to open the "secret" compartment. just pull without pushing the button and it will open. also i think in the back of this section there's a piece of plastic which you can unscrew (two screws) and thread a cord through there (to the rear outlet) - instead of fitting it through the side groove.

 

You guys are cracking me up...I went through the same things that all of you are mentioning when I first got my car too.

 

I knew it was there, but never really use it cuz its so thin. My StarTac won't fit in the thing. Hmmmm, maybe for the insurance and registration...get rid of that glove box clutter.

 

...please tell me you're kidding about not knowing about those compartments?

 

I knew about it.. never really used it. Now I got my radar detector I have the phone plugged in the back "outlet" and I can't get the bugger open.

 

I hid a lot of junk in there.

Mostly crap I never used. Pens, wet towelettes, speeding tickets, etc

 

Wow I opened mine up for the first time today and found an 11 year old CRX. I think I will sell me Max now. And post on the 5thgen Maxima forum all about my 11 year old CRX.

 

Thanks.

Now, I can hide things.. Oooooh..

2 months after I bought it.... thought I broke it for a sec...

 

Man...give the dude a new engine and he wants to be a racecar driver!


ADMAN

 

Oh My ... I found ALL that stuff out when I TEST DROVE my Max ... then Bought it 1 week later!!!

Its NO Big Deal.


The Only thing I found special on My Maxima is that little "Purple" button in the Glove Compartment, On the Top Left hand Corner that initiates the Factory Installed NOS!

 

Hmmm...mine was green!


ADMAN

 

Oh Cool ... wanna swap??? I'll match the Brakes in your Sig Picture!

 

I couldn't find it? Where exactly is it in the glove box compartment? Where's my factory NOS
