Found a review video for a Maverick armrest cover and it looks pretty good on the video. Ordered one immediately. It shows it will take 7 days to deliver. Well, can't wait to receive it now lol.
Btw I saw there are some vendors selling center console organizer for Maverick. Really hope they can make something for the cubby by the screen!

This is the review video I mentioned.

I've seen a couple different things for the cubby by the screen -- a magnetic phone holder and a grid-like insert so you can attach a phone holder that attaches to the vents. I've been plugging my phone in for the Android Auto nearly all the time, so the phone holder isn't really appealing to me. I am planning to buy one of the center console organizers off of Amazon for about $20.

The only use I've found for the cubby is to put my wallet in anticipation of a drive thru. Even then, it's not all that useful!

My daughter thinks the cubby is a little strange. I tend to agree!

If you find yourself plugging in most of the time to get Android Auto you may be interested in one of those wireless receivers that allow you to get Android Auto without even taking your phone out of your pocket. I don't have a specific one to recommend b/c mine's for Apple Car Play but I know they make both. I got mine on Amazon. Search for "USB Dongle Wireless Android Auto" and maybe find some confirmation from this forum that the specific model you want actually is compatible with the Maverick, as I did have to replace my old one (Replaced CarLinkIt with TNVTEC but again that was iPhone specific).

The only one that I know about for Android is a Motorola, and it's $149, which is a little steep to save me a couple seconds when I start the truck. Also, I like the charging aspect of the cable, since my phone case prevents me from getting much use out of the wireless charging in my Lariat. The last time I tried the wireless charging, it actually reduced my battery percentage, probably due to excessive heat. If the wireless charging worked better, I'd seriously consider the wireless Android Auto. Maybe with my next phone, whenever that is.

Not bad but it would be better if it matched the interior color.

I would like to see an adjustable arm rest that moves forwards and backwards to accommodate different seat positions

Everybody is gonna groan when I say this, because it screams "your still living in the seventies and shag carpet", but I plan to buy a dash mat. My theory is that it might cut noise and glare a tiny bit. I figure if I hate it, it's only $30 wasted.

I put my keys and wallet there but it's annoying when they fall off...

It arrives at the mailbox after 8 days. Though it takes long to deliver, I'm impressed by the quality. Feel pretty soft and comfortable with the material. Anyway, I will post the installed pics later!

I installed a switch next the screen in the cubby hole. I use it to decide if I really give a damn... oddly enough it always turns itself back off.

I've never found plugging the phone in inconvenient. It stays charged and no worries of disconnects and communication bugs/overheating.
However, I get confused when people mention keeping your phone in your pocket. My Pixel 6 Pro goes in my back pocket unless it is in my hand. Most phones don't fit well in a front pocket, especially sitting.
So are people sitting on their phones when driving their truck around? That doesn't sound comfortable or safe for not breaking the screen.

Interested! Where can I find the switch?
