Reddit mentions: The best automotive consoles & organizers

I've worked at FLGSs for the better part of the last five years (minus some frictional unemployment after one went out of business) and I have a pretty ridiculous collection of games. I run demos (often with personal copies of games) at "my" store but I also attend a couple of other gaming events regularly and play games at home frequently as well. I keep a selection of my favorites in my car at all times in case I encounter a "gamergency." So I wanted to be able to carry a large number of games in a small amount of space permanently, without sacrificing organization or ease of setup.

So for the last year, I've been "tinying" my games. I get 6"x10"x3" boxes (such as pencils come in when shipped by the gross) for free from a previous employer, a school supply shop (they give them away to the public). You'd be surprised how much you can get in a box that size. Splendor, Carcassonne, and Catan all work really well in smaller boxes -- anything without a board. I used my printer/scanner to reduce the original box art and pasted it onto the smaller boxes, then covered them with clear contact paper for durability.

Ultra Pro card boxes are my best friend; I'm about to buy a half dozen more for some games I've recently acquired. I also use little divided plastic boxes from the dollar store a lot. I don't have a lot of pics on my phone right now but I've posted a link some examples below.

Also included in the album is a pic of the games that live in my trunk; the carrier is one of these: (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019HGI31U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TCJBxbBF51MGH). At 22x12x14, it's currently holding 22 games (plus expansions, some in original boxes but most not). I've got room for a few more small ones, too. I love that it has handles; laundry baskets and storage bins hurt my hands. (Tinied games are DENSE, thus my bin is deceptively heavy.)

TL;DR: HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF SOME GAMES I MADE SMALLER

Find a way to mount a RAM ball to the bike. I like this guy personally.

After that, get something to hold your phone that works with a RAM mount. The X-Grip is super popular, however, I did a lot of research before buying and read loads of reviews from people who lost their phone on the highway, or had the thing twisting and turning every which way, and so on. Many people use it and seem happy with it but it's a big YMMV situation, and it made me shy on that product.

While I can't say for certain if the problems I read about the X-Grip are true, I can tell you that after a legit 60,000 miles with 2 different phones mounted in [THIS] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088LL7UA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) mount, at a combination of city and highway, into potholes and over speed bumps, not once has my phone ever even wiggled. I have the utmost confidence in this thing. The only caveat is that you should use a TPU or hybrid style case because this is just hard plastic, so have something to save you from scratches and so on.

To go along with it you will need one of these for the back of the phone holder. You will also need a RAM arm, I use (and prefer) a 3 inch arm but they make 6 inch and other more complicated contraptions if that doesn't do it for you.

It's not exactly cheap. At the moment, from Amazon, that will cost you about $43 shipped (edit: before tax). However, I will say that this is exact setup has never failed me in 60,000 miles spread between multiple motorcycles and with 2 different phones of decent size. For your reference, those phones were a Galaxy S5 in an Otterbox Commuter and a Sony Xperia Z3+ in a clear Spidgen case. The mount does have room to grow a bit bigger than these if you need it, but not by a lot.

Good luck and happy riding! =)

Edit: Forgot to offer to take pics of the setup on my bike. If you wanna see it all together first, I can do that, just drop a reply.

I apologize in advance for this long post. None of these are "must gets", but they are what I got for my 2016 Premium forester. I'm posting this for my own future reference as well as to help some people who are wondering what accessories might be good for their new forester. I highly recommend ordering from Jackie from Annapolis Subaru @ 443-837-1422 as she can get you some good prices on the subaru accessories as well as WeatherTech products! I saved on WeatherTech shipping costs (~$20) by ordering through Jackie and the warranty is the same as if I had bought them through their website.

Please note that some of these accessory links are for my specific car year, model and configuration. I have a 2016 Premium forester without eyesight (affects the Covercraft/heatshield sunshade - they also have eyesight compatible sunshades!).

Also, I personally didn't get my windows tinted, but I think that is something that you should seriously consider doing :)

>Best seat covers?

Get permaplate option, this will cover external and interior. Enjoy the seats without seat covers, I did put a seat cover so the baby car seat was on the cover.

>Best dash cams?

I really want this dash cam Blackvue DR590, saving up for one.

>Charging cable ok in weather?

I have been doing research on Chargepoint level 2 home charger. Its weather proof and if you install the 220v 32A version you can charge your car in 2 hours.

>Battery efficiency on the highway?

I only had my Prius Prime for a week now, hybrid works well. Drive in B mode and plan out your trips so you can charge at your destination. For example, we started to go to Target because they have a Chargepoint station. We shop for about 2 hours and by the time we get back to the car is fully charged. We can do all of our shopping using EV only.

>Toyota service centers only?

I got the extended maintenance plan so yes for me only Toyota service.

>Get that extended warranty or no?

I got the 7 year extended maintenance because I already know how much the dealer ship will charge for normal maintenance. I just want to have the peace of mind knowing everything is covered and did not want to deal is any issues. Plus if you get it during purchase I believe its at a bigger discount. Because I sign up for it the dealer ship gave me LoJack for free and 72 month financing 0 APR.

>Any reassurance that I made the right choice not waiting for the 2018?

I was thinking the something, at the moment you have a big advantage because they are trying to sell off the rest of the 2017 to make room for the 2018 models. I want to say you have more power to haggle, for example I was able to get 72 month 0 APR financing, free LoJack and $3000 off the asking price because I mention the local special and because I was prior military.

I REALLY want a Tesla Tap so I can get that sweet sweet level 3 quick charge.

I got a couple of different sizes of totes to use, that way they're easy to remove and store if I need more cargo space, or I can move them to the back seat, and so on.

For the stuff that always lives in the car, I got this velcro-bottomed tote and I keep one full of stuff, and the other folded flat behind it for grab-and-go. The velcro sticks REALLY well and it goes nowhere. Unfortunately this exact one seems discontinued, but there should be similar ones available.

For groceries and errands and such, I have this basket with handles. I usually keep this basket in the house, toss "things to go to the car" in it, then take it with me for errands. It stays in place pretty well, and I re-inforce that by using a small carabiner to clip it to one of the side rings in the cargo area. Great for dropping multiple grocery bags and shopping bags in to keep in one place, then carry inside in one trip.

And finally for the bigger things that don't fit in totes, I have these cargo blocks which store nicely in that first velcro tote, and then stick to the floor of the cargo area to hold larger boxes and items in place so they don't slide all over. (Had a set of these with a VW a number of years ago, they were the only thing I missed about that VW so I bought a set for my Impreza when I got it.)

It looks like you're sorted already but you might have a look at these steering wheel attachments as well.

I used to use one when I worked in security and it worked pretty well! Was able to make good use of it even with a big, heavy 17 inch laptop.

  It is nice to not have one or two bags of groceries rolling around my trunk.

Whenever I feel like life is getting me down, I read this review (or watch the Aww Joby video) and whatever I was thinking about before that point is pretty much chased away by laughter. I think it was on some post (can't remember where) that had a bunch of funny Amazon reviews.

This was another product they listed, almost all of the reviews are priceless... https://www.amazon.com/AutoExec-Wheelmate-Steering-Attachable-Surface/dp/B00E1D1GY6#customerReviews

Enjoy!

I undestand that this would come with a warning and the majority of people that would get one wouldn't use it while driving, but it's always the minority that spoils things, right?

Here's the page


The comments are pretty funny though, worth a read:

>My husband Brad always warns me not to try and update my Facebook page while I'm driving. "You'll hit another pedestrian," he says. "This isn't the Enterprise, there isn't a deflector array." Then along comes a miracle product like this! I can now happily fly at warp speed down the streets of Los Angeles, laptop or mobile device perched right in front of me, so I can keep both eyes right on it AND on the road. It's so much easier to ignore all the frightened screams and annoying honking when you've got Facebook to look at while driving. Thank you, Wheelmate!

Block out time on your schedule to do follow-ups.

Block out time to study and learn about selling. If you think you're a natural sales person then you're not. The most knowledgeable sales person is the one that understands they know nothing. Many people have an aptitude for sales but not the ability or willingness to learn and grow. The difference between a good sales person and an extraordinary one is someone who is willing to learn and grow. ABL. Always be learning.

Have dedicated office time. Some sales people become very distant from the office because they start and end their day from home. Stay connected with your office staff. Show your face and make sure you don't become that person outside who they never see.

Keep yourself mobile. Always have a laptop and hotspot and some type of mobile office kit. My colleague has a sweet little setup that fits on the passenger seat. I've used a cheap little table that hooks to the steering wheel (for when you're not actually driving).

Your business should have goals and quotas. Track your closing rate. I've had many people that think they're doing well only to discover they're only closing 30% of their leads and it should be 50 to 60% (that will depend on your industry of course). Take some of the office time to figure that out.

Number one mistake people make is they confuse what is urgent with what is important. Dedicate time on your schedule to what is important. Make it part of your office time.

Sorry if I answered more than what you asked but I got on a roll.

EDIT: Added links to the mobile office stuff.

For showering, I have a fill up a couple of large detergent jugs with hot water. I wrap them with my towel to keep them warm. You have to be careful to not fill them up with too hot water because, with the insulation from the towel, you might be in for a surprise.

I stand in this container: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10255897/ when I'm showering and taking off my wetsuit. It is great because I use the water to rinse the wetsuit out. You can add a bit of soap while washing the wetsuit if you are a pee-er.

For drying, I use the bucket and one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074F34JT6/

Car keys: get a key lock that attaches itself to your car's rims or door handle. Masterlock makes a pretty popular model.

It's a hair too big but it's flexible so I made it work. Just nice to have stuff in the pickup but keep it looking clean. Also put it behind passenger side, lol.

Thanks!

Yeah, I got the Brandmotion one. I have the 430N head unit, so I got the package that has the camera that wires into the head unit and comes with the adjustable bracket and the thing that updates the firmware to make the backup camera work. Was pretty simple to install and get set up. I'd suggest getting one of those cheap trim removal kits - it makes the job way easier and you don't risk scratching your plastic trim with a screwdriver.

Something I use every day is the Rugged Ridge cell phone mount kit (https://www.amazon.com/Rugged-Ridge-13551-16-Multi-Mount-Phone/dp/B00ONDM07G) - works well for the phone (sideways) and I can mount my GoPro for trail rides at the same time.

Good morning! :D

One of my comfort foods from my childhood is bologna (thin sliced, Boar's Head from the deli counter) with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise on a poppy seed roll or hero. Everyone thinks it's a weird combination, and I don't like bologna in any other way.

I also love peanut butter (Peter Pan) sandwiches with raspberry jam and marshmallow fluff!

I would love these for my car because my purse is always flying off the seat!

I got This for easy storage in the back. You can easily strap it to the side if you put the seats down. I like the compartments and the easiness of removing it. I currently put tarps in there. A basic took set, gloves, flashlights, etc. I just got the cheapest one I could find and was surprised by the quality. Probably could spend a few bucks more and get someone with extra features.

I bought one of these JL Safety EZ Pass-Port - Indestructible Holder fits Mini and OLD size EZ Pass (not the Flex or HOV switch models), I Pass, I Zoom, PalPass hard case and FasTrak transponders. Holder only. Made in USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009Y7MJVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2-XADbRRPR16D

I could use this for my car! I finally have a car with a working radio, and I'd love a convenient place to store my CDs!

I may start delivering pizzas again, so music is necessary if I want to have fun while working!

I'll drink to that

my gf bought me a car trunk organizer from amazon, it fits a lot of products and can be attached anywhere! for the price it's a great buy. i wouldnt carry it around with a lot of stuff in it as it gets heavy and feels like the bottom is gonna rip out but that's how it is with pretty much every large surface bag.

Not what you are asking for. But I have bins like these that I bought and are great. They fold up when not in use, and I can easily pull them out of the car and set on a shelf (eg I go on a weekend trip so I can just pull all my work gear out in one go and throw it back in when I’m done).

My '17 EX has the 2nd row buckets and came with the Ford floor liners and the grooves in them are deep enough for the gunk I bring into the vehicle. I normally buy Weathertech's, but I'm happy with what I have.

I don't recall if the third row has floor liners or not as I don't use the third row, so it's always stowed. I didn't get a cargo liner either, but I did get myself one of these, plus I have a square milk crate that I keep in the back, and the included cargo net is good at keeping things from falling out when I open the back.

The reviews are actually pretty funny.

Reminds me of the reviews for AutoExec Wheelmate Steering Wheel Attachable Work Surface Tray. I wish they still allowed pictures.

Pretty pricey for the whole setup since you have to buy 2 balls and an extension, but definitely worth it. Very sturdy and never lost a phone with ir.

A high quality storage organizer for the trunk is always useful. I have this one and it's great. It can fold down to half size when you don't need all the space.

You will also need to get the following items:

Ram ball diamond plate: this is so you can mount the phone holder to the arm


Ram arm: so you can adjust the orientation of the mount, they sell many lengths.

Ram mount: this is the final ball which you mount to your bike. They have handle bar balls, the have ones that mount under your mirror, they have ones that mount to the brake master, and so on. Use the RAM website to find all these things, and then Google the part number for the cheapest prices!


Happy riding!

I've had two of these organizers strapped against the back seats since August and really like them. Easy to load and unload using the included handles and they have lots of pockets and several different possible configurations.

I use that mount. You'll have to buy the ram ball, Clamps, and u bolt mount or whatever you want to use separately. But the phone mount is awesome! The top is spring loaded and hooks on the phone. It's super secure. Don't use the x mount, they're okay for in the car but not good for a motorcycle. With the one above there is no way it can fall out, but it's also quick to insert your phone into it, and take it out. If you're interested I can try to take a photo of mine with my phone in it, the Amazon photo doesn't do it justice.

I'd recommend making a checklist, something like:

• Phone charger
  
• Vacuum the seats and floors (love this guy)
  
• Check/remove everything from all cupholders / seat backs / door pockets
  
• Windex passenger windows
  
• Clear out trunk (these are great )
  
• Fill tank

I use this one from rugged ridge. You basically take out the existing dash tray and replace it with this one. Glasses go right below the phone and fit perfectly. I wear Oakley Holbrooks for reference.

>So I was showing a car at work when I open up the trunk to show the customer how much total space they have there was a swastika made of the car blocksThat are typically used to hold your stuff in place while you drive

We bought a VW SUV recently, and I know exactly the blocks you are talking about. For everyone else - they are plastic cargo organizers with velcro on the bottom, that stick to the carpets, and you can arrange them however you want so your groceries or whatever won't slide around in the cargo area. They are very useful. Here is a picture of two of them:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06VVPWSXM/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3

Our car came with 4 of them, and it would be easy to form them in the shape of a swastika. I could easily see how this could be done accidentally too. But given the other information, it probably wasn't an accident.

Something like this can tie down so it doesn’t slide around using the cargo hooks. Since you want to keep those things in your vehicle all the time, it’s better to have something you can just move around in one when you need to have extra cargo area. There’s different options, some smaller.

I bought a nice organizer from ebay before. It's no longer shoing in my history but it was something like this - https://www.amazon.com/High-Road-Document-Glove-Organizer/dp/B000HZRTDE

It is leather and holds everything I need in my glove box.

Great question!

I have one of those cargo nets that are made for motorcycles. So it would be in the DD bag (if it fits), then cargo netted across the rear seat.

I posted above, a few links to some rigid foam trunk cargo organizers. I'm thinking about which one to get. Something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DIMTWCS/ref=sspa_dk_detail_7?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01DIMTWCS&pd_rd_w=EvAK9&pf_rd_p=10ebaf99-73de-4f5d-a994-e7f5fc52f86f&pd_rd_wg=eRiQf&pf_rd_r=RZMA255QNWZC5CYEHMB5&pd_rd_r=26a8d369-2c1e-11e9-90b8-2bc8cef3038b

I'd have to add some straps for it, but the bike has the rear seat and saddle bags now, so this should fit right over the saddle bags and sit on the seat.

I use one of these. I bought it for $22 but it looks like they are out of stock right now

I got this and a sunglass holder for my Rene. Always like more storage!

I used these vibration dampers between my spring-loaded RAM phone holder and the diamond-shaped ball adapter plate. It worked pretty well for a 7,000 mile trip I took on an Africa Twin last summer (mostly paved, some dirt and off-road), although I did end up having the phone replaced due to recurring dust spots on the camera. I really just try to limit how often I mount the phone there, and use a Garmin nüvi for navigation.

Lots of good reviews on the Wheelmate http://www.amazon.com/AutoExec-Wheelmate-Steering-Attachable-Surface/product-reviews/B00E1D1GY6

Pshh...a true gamer would bring his desktop in the car with him. That's why they have power inverters and this.

I had to look it up, too. (Adds to cart) Thank you!

Drivers are, however, doing all of the following - and I have a hard time believing any of them are accidental:

• Texting
  
• Eating
  
• Talking on the phone (hands-free only helps if you're changing gear; otherwise, does not change the level of distraction)
  
• Doing their makeup
  
• Messing with their kids in the back seat
  
• Fiddling with the radio (I'm looking at you, touch screen head units)
  
• Reading a book/using their laptop
  
  The list goes on. Don't do these things and, magically, you're a lot more careful.

You need to get yourself a steering wheel table.

Hilarious customer reviews.

This is the one I bought on Amazon. I like how it can be secured in place, so stuff doesn't go flying if I have to slam the brakes.

X Grip is great, but you still aren't supposed to use it for motorcycles, even though I use it exclusively on my motorcycle.

Now THIS guy is what you should be using, but I had to get an x grip because my 6P is too fucking big.

https://www.amazon.com/Trunkcratepro-Collapsible-Portable-Compartments-Organizer/dp/B01ECMRFTA

I have this with only one of the two compartments open (the other is collapsed) tethered to a corner in my hatch with bungee cords. Have all the stuff I listed above organized in it along with other things like umbrellas, a collapsible jacket, reusable ikea bags, more bungee cords, pens, etc.

What about something like this. Trunkcratepro Collapsible Portable Multi Compartments Trunk Organizer, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ECMRFTA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_t9rUDbQD82DDA

You need one of these OP. Much more stable while you're driving.

Thank God I have one of these!

I believe it goes across the back of a car (inside) and serves as a bar to hang clothes hangers from.

EDIT: Yep:

Storage organizer

The one I have is smaller and more basic than that, but it has velcro and a hook to keep it from sliding around and you can zip the top closed.

Yeah, I was going to buy one of these, until I saw the reviews and customer supplied photos.

I use an expandable cargo-crate paired with a pet barrier.


The cargo-crate allows me to store loose items, or things that might otherwise tumble and roll around in the car in. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ECMRFTA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)


The pet barrier allows me to attach small things as well as stack items higher up without worrying that it'll spill into the rear passenger area. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040Q8ZM0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)


I have a rear cargo-net as well, but I find that I rarely use it over the cargo-crate. (https://www.hondapartworld.com/cr-v-accessories/cr-v-interior/623_08L96-SWA-100)

I’ve been looking at this for mine. You can get a two pack as well, for $50. Comes with straps that can be attached to the cleats in the bed.

This is an improved version, but lots of options are available.

I got it off amazon. It was about $24

This Steering Wheel Work Table is the greatest series of reviews I have ever seen.

DIRTY THIRTY

I have this for my motorcycle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0088LL7UA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_wArIxbJQKQRQK

Warning though. I bought this for my old lg g4. It's not designed to hold the nexus correctly. 2 of the side notches I can't have installed in order for it to be able to take my phone at all, thus making the only safe way to orient the phone is landscape. But it does work. This phone is not going anywhere.

He should have used this:

I normally just unmount it from my bike after the ride

Because it's smaller then this Steering wheel table

It was all because of the AutoExec cover-up.

Use this!

Just a phone? Pfft, amateur...

I've been using these. I use them to keep sweaters, hats, etc for my 16 convertible along with misc detailing supplies.

Clipped into a Rugged Ridge dash mount. Rugged Ridge 13551.16 Dash Multi-Mount with Phone Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ONDM07G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_h-L2DbNEZ7F89

The 17mm ball on the mount is the same the desktop charger uses, so I just took the wireless charger off the desk stand and attached it to the dash mount.

...and get yourself one of these Has room for a dozen donuts and coffee!

I use this trunk organizer to hold most of my stuff and I keep my hiking boots, climbing shoes, and approach shoes in a milk crate. I use another milk crate to hold all my cleaning/detailing supplies. With the trunk organizer and the two milk crates, I still have plenty of space for groceries/shopping bags or whatever else I might need to throw in the the trunk.

I have the same problem for the same use case. I plan on getting some velcro stickers and sticking them to the bottom of the items that I plan on storing there. Tire Air compressor, First Aid Kit, Sun Shade, etc. They also sell car storage containers with a velcro type of bottom to solve this exact problem.

The Onion was beaten to it by actual products...

I see your terrible product, and raise you the steering wheel laptop table

Ram actually makes a way more secure mount that lets you mount and retrieve your phone just as quick

(though you'll need to attach the rubber ball to the back, sucks that it doesn't come bundled)

Basically the 2 bottom pegs are fixed in place, the 4 side pegs are adjustable but screwed down to be fixed in place, and the top 2 pegs are spring loaded to maintain constant tension on your phone. Not as cool looking as the X grip but a much more secure product.

If he has time to do yoga, he has time to code. Just needs to put the laptop on one of these bad boys

> That's just dumb. If it wasn't useful, there wouldn't be a market.

Pet rocks. Goldfish. This laptop shelf that affixes to your steeringwheel:

Skip the X-grip mount, it's more expensive than the Ram mount specifically made to not let go of a phone at speed. I also picked up the ball mount that replaces a handlebar clamp bolt, and I run the phone mount there if I'm going to do it.

Keep in mind that if your phone has optical image stabilization built into the camera, it's likely a bad idea to mount it to the bike. Lots of reports of folks having borked cameras from the vibrations.

I've had this one for a year and I have no complaints.
