I want to have a direct, pop-in pocket that adds the marked area. Then you could fit your wallet or phone in there. My iPhone 6 ALMOST fits in there with the case on it. I suppose if I had no case or a even thinner one it would fit. But all phones are getting bigger and bigger now.

Found pics of the back of the radio trim and those pockets screw on.

Anybody know what the small pocket to the right of the 5” radio is for? If I had to guess, it measures about 1x2x5” deep.

Thanks in advance.

It’s just a small cubby hole. The blank space under it is where the 120V outlet would be.
I have a cubby hole on both sides of my 5.0 touch Uconnect

I don't know what it's for, if anything, but these little touches are what sold me on a RAM vs the competition. Why *not* put it there, since it's just unused space? I don't need more weird bezels to make my truck look like a spaceship - I need storage for crap.

I take off one of the sides of the front console covers, and use that for extra storage. Plenty of usable space under the console.

If it's the same as it was on my '01 Dakota back in the day, if you have a regular cab the key switch for disabling the passenger side airbag (for child or really short adult passengers) goes there. On QC and CC models there is no deactivation switch so we get a little cubby.

Take it out and trade with me. I just have the hole without the door. I’ll pay shipping and some boot.

I used the driver side pocket as the perfect place to mount the screen for my backup camera.

With the way that pocket attaches/detaches you could DIY a taller and potentially deeper pocket. Hmmm . . . :gr_grin:

I just put one of those command hooks in there. I can put hang a small plastic/trash bag, my baseball cap, or etc. on it. (I don't have the full center console.)

It's just there to collect dust and be a pain to clean as far as I can tell. Should have just put in another power point like the early 4th gens in that spot.

The space under my pocket now houses a 12v power point that I relocated when I installed my center console. The usb that was on that side is now located in the lower glove box.
You have a pic of that. Might be worth doing.
