Armrest console organizer
Anyone here find the middle console by the driver like a bin for everything in the free world? I'm trying to organize it but can't. Is there an oem organizer or something? What do you guys use to organize it?

To answer your question, no, I have not seen any type of organizer for that storage space but it sure would be nice.

Too funny, I do the same thing with Kleenex in the rear most position but found a couple small office drawer organizing bins at Target for the front. Not great but works for the little stuff. Sunglasses and iPhone charger end up tossed on top.

I just stuff everything in there and in the glove box. An organizer would just take up unnecessary space imo.
If you see the interior of my car, it looks clean and organized but if you open the glove compartment or the armrest storage, it's a whole different world in there.

Instead, Mercedes decided to install the interior light switches, moon roof switches, multiple MBrace switches, and interior lights in such a crowded and incomprehensible arrangement that you nearly drive off the road trying to turn on the reading light for the passenger holding the map.

I went to the container store and bought to metal containers that stack on top of one another. Bed bath and beyond has varies metal and plastic containers as well. I can store chargers, glasses, etc in the lower container and stack the other container on top and store other things

I believe MB has an optional accessory that installs a sunglass holder above the driver seat. This replaces the folding handle bar above the window. I've been meaning to ask about it with my next trip to the dealer.

For my sunglasses, I just use the little bin underneath the drivers seat. It's a nice place to place it.

interesting thread: so what do you put in the box?
I only have small bills, Smarties, change, gas receipts, trash and who knows what else that I've forgotten......haha....
I don't even use the glove department either....or the seat bins for that matter......never leave my sunglasses behind.....
the box is a perfect size for my 60D also

I cut down a couple of plastic boxes to fit. Also, made one out of cardboard to test and it worked so well, it's still in there. Keep my sunglasses in a case at the very back of the bin.
I keep a lot of small items in that bin and they tend to get lost in the big hole. Takes a little thought as to what you want to carry and how big a box it needs.
Most manufacturers have dual level storage -small box on top of larger bin and that works very well.
I keep a small, collapsible umbrella in the space under the driver's seat and one for passenger under passenger's seat.
Have had cars with holders in roof for sunglasses, but they can get very hot on hot, sunny days.

I just don't like having to keep opening and closing the center console every time I need sunglasses - which is typically every time I get in the car!
Quick access with 'safe' storage is the name of the game!

Same here. The only center "storage" in the '08 was the space that the ashtray use to occupy. Removing the ashtray created a nice albeit little storage nook.

I don't know if anyone still cares about this but I found a desk organizer that fits nicely into the armrest, assuming you don't have any usb ports or whatever in there like mine.

seems like there should be a way to make the clam shell lid store something more than a pen? Credit card holder perhaps? Change? Ideas
