Does anyone know what the accessory purpose of this area is supposed to be?

Um... Where did you get the switch panel?? Is that Mopar factory? Self-fabbed? Available somewhere I haven't found? That is what I am wanting to do with my left-hand "pocket" but just haven't gotten around to fabricating something!

It's a 2 switch holder from OTTRATTW held in simply by friction. The black "triangle" on top is just a piece of back plastic cut from a notebook cover and glued to the back of the switch cover. I can take this out and other than a hole drilled way in the back of the cubby for wiring, you'd never know it was there.

I have a 2015 Longhorn and I use that spot to store my Ray-Ban's. I find if I store them
above the dash they get so hot in the sun they will burn you when you put them on. Miss
my overhead storage like I had on my 2000 Ram.

I keep my garage door opener in it. It fits perfectly.

I keep an extra magazine for my carry gun on the driver side cubby. Bluetooth OBDII code reader on the passenger side.

Be advised that in the back of that little cubby on versions with it on the right side there is a screw for attaching the bezel to the instrument panel.

That's where I put those real sticky boogers that I can't seem to fling off my finger. Wipe off real easy on that rubber mat in there and it's easy to pull out and clean off.

My question is what is that slot on the top of the dash above radio that says RAM?

Donutsahoy · Oct 8, 2018

I park in a parking garage so it's a perfect place for my sunglasses. I've also seen people put toothpicks there but mostly I see sunglasses.

Only on some trucks, I believe it's the ones with the full center console. My '14 CC, with the jump seat setup, does not have a screw in there.

I put nickels in all those cubbies every time someone asks what all those cubbies are for...I'll be retiring soon!

Sorry, OP, couldn't resist!
