Just wanted to see what other members have done with the ash tray area in their 5th gens. Please post pics and share.


I put my satellite radio into mine. dock sits flush inside so I can close it when not in use, and when the radio is installed, sits nicely against the dash.

That fits in there very nicely!~ Looks good!

I put my spare change in there... and usually 2 lighters fit as well!

Haha.... That's my gum wrapper trash bin!

Loose change holder!

screen from the drive and play for my ipod

Loose change holder for now, but the WB readout sits on there. Now I need to do something cool and make the WB actually stay there as if it were meant to.

Haha.. I use the shifter boot for that. Keeps me from letting it accumulate. And your car would look much better w/ clear tails. Wanna Trade??

How do you have your satellite radio connected to your stereo?

spare change holder for now

Nah, sorry man. I don't like the clears! But I would like to get my hands on some 5.5 hids though

I use it as an ashtray






(not really)

felt for an ashtray isn't really the best idea nissan had

Right now its through the FM transmitter, but soon it will be plugged directly into my deck (new alpine unit)

Cool, which alpine unit are you going with?

Alpine CDA-9886

Looks cool. I can't wait until I can afford to replace my stock Bose unit (it's always skipping on my cds and doens't allow line in with mp3 players).

I'm wanting to get a double din dvd player type one, but they're so expensive and likely to be stolen.

You can make it into one: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...de=F8810-A33KT

Yeah, wtf is up with the cloth ash tray? I use mine to hold my lighter, but thats about it.

If I smoked in my car, I would ash out the window thank you.

I've never once smoked in my car since I bought it a few years ago. And I'm a smoker.........

change tray here....no ash period, I DONT ALLOW SMOKING IN MY CAR....U WANNA SMOKE, GTFO, cause your not riding

loose change holder

Sirius in the ashtray was my first mod, hours after I brought it home in Jan 07.

Loose change and sweetarts!!!

holds the blackberry pretty well

Loose change FTW.

Loose change now. Later a flux capacitor.

I keep my bluetooth headset there. When using the headset, I put my phone there so that I can see the screen on my phone.

i smoke in mine...with leather seats, it never smells like smoke

my pearl fits perfectly in the pocket on the door...WTF is that thing called...to pull it closed?

I really don't use mine too much. I used to keep change in there, now it's in the cup holder.

"roach" motel

You better eat em if you get pulled over.

i wish i had an ashtray area. ha

i can't find a freakin shift surround piece anywhere!!
Does nobody on here have one they want to sell...

Looks good!

You've made a good point. I should definitely think of way to utilize my ashtray... at least put some spare change in there like most people.

i use it for my gps unit

Same here, I guess leather doesn't hold the smell like cloth does.

Granted I have the windows down and then sunroof tilted to help too.

Guaranteed it does. You just don't know it because you are a smoker. I can always tell (smell) when I am detailing a smoker's car.

I keep a pack of gum in mine.

I dont know, my friend doesnt smoke and she can never tell when i smoke in my car...
and i got leather....

Well I don't do it cause it's out of habit. From being so new when I bought it and not wanting it to discolor the headliner. So being leather you're right, it doesn't attract smoke like cloth does. I also have tint now as well, and smoke can eat up the glue and cause it to peel at some point over a period of repetitive smoking, and also discolor like a poorly tinted, smoked in Corolla.

Cleaning the windows take a little more elbow grease as well. Main reason I haven't is, that it kills the air quality in the cabin, more frequent cabin filter changes, and a non smoker can still tell. I've experienced this in my Leathered Legend Coupe. I can now tell a difference in interior.

Either way, I just prefer to not do it, and it somewhat lessens the amount of cigs I smoke. When I smoked in my past cars, I definitely smoked more when I was driving.
