Center Console Cubby Top Tray?
Okay folks. Possibly the dumbest question of the year here. In my 4.8is auto. I have the Center Console that has the arm rest that can be raised in two parts: 1) the very top part when lifted presents me with a black tray that has three or four channels that look like they are pen holders? What exactly are they supposed to be for? I just fill em up with coins and pens. But I am intrigued as to their correct use ;if there is one) There is no wiring so no phone etc. 2) under this we have the main deep cube box which is just a deep storage box. It is the upper threat that annoys my curiosity. Any thoughts please. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's pretty useless and looks like an after thought for the cars that didn't come with a phone.
I have a pen, my driving glasses and a hand sanitizer in there. Nothing else really fits.

Mine was used by the original owner as a M&M storage bin. Been picking out the residue ever since I purchased it!

Thank the Lord.
I was anticipating a barrage of “you idiot, it’s for holding xxxx”. At least it’s just not me. My big hate is rattled in car (and I bought a second X5). So I have pens in there wrapped in tissues to stop the rattles. It would have been better if they had just left it as a square tray as the three fin parts just waste space and stop you getting more useless stuff into it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Center Console Cubby Top Tray?
I think it is designed to keep beer/wine bottle opener. After all the cooler is located right below it

The tray is designed for the old optional Motorola phone handset. There is even a small antenna mount that rotates upwards (in the extreme left side tray).
