Wait, why are you taking your sunglasses off?

That just means that you overpaid for your car.

I know this question wasn't directed at me but I store mine in the car as I use photochromic lenses with my Oakley's and the UV windshield wreaks havoc with them, rendering their adaptive features useless. They stay in their lightest setting until UV hits them.....

They are great outside though.

yes. I got all of the above + driver assist... the driver assist takes up that compartment only.

Does side+top view cameras delete the left storage console? The button is by the shifter I believe. Or is it the buttons for active cruise, etc.?

omg for the 5th time it is for driver assist only!! i know cuz i got the useless POS option. I know i'm Asian but I can drive!

keylime503 · 06-07-2015, 03:26 PM

I understand its for drivers assist. I'm asking if side+top view cameras as a standalone option deletes the compartment, since it's part of drivers assist package but also the button is in the shifter area.

Yeah this is my question too. I understand Devilzmantis ordered Driver Assist (ZDB) and doesn't have the storage compartment, but it would be nice to hear from someone who ordered the side+top cams WITHOUT ZDB and can confirm they do have the storage compartment. I checked the ordering guide and under ZDB there are no annotations that it "deletes" anything and the storage compartment doesn't seem to be listed under the standard options so there's no help there.

I like the side+top cams but they're certainly not a "must have" option and I'd like to have that storage compartment too.

Side and Top View is controlled from the center console are next to the shifter.

Here's a shitty pic my wife took during delivery showing the compartment.

The visor clip or container won't work for us M4 people. We already have to worry about cracking out visors mirrors because the seat hits them if not moved forward in a specific order. It would suck to also break our glasses if they were on the visor.

Storage is an issue in this car if you have drivers assist. I'm waiting to see what the new LCI center looks like in person with the sliding cover. That might provide a more versatile solution rather than pulling that stupid cover out of the glove compartment each time you don't want the cup holder and would prefer the flat surface.

Neil McRae · 06-09-2015, 08:15 AM

its the cup holders, the design of these is shocking.

And if you're planning to put your sunglasses, Glock etc into the side cubby hole, best to put some damping underlay unless you want more rattles...

stilljester's invention is the best place to put sunglasses. It looks and feels OEM, because it is OEM. Holds glasses, is out of the way, and looks great. You can also get versions from ebay, which work as well, but the OEM version is a little lower profile and cleaner.
