I made a plywood block to fit inside the cubby, to adapt a RAM mount for a smartphone & tablet holder. I shaped & tapered the block accordingly, slightly undersize, and sealed it with epoxy finishing resin. I gave the block a couple of wraps of electrical tape before jamming it in there. Seems to hold well. I like the idea of having my phone, which I use for Android Auto, to be up where I can see it and easily get to it.

This is the RAM tablet holder:

Hey man, this is super cool, I love it! Can you make more of these? I would be happy to buy a wood block to fill this space so I can attach my own phone mount, etc. Let me know if I can Venmo you or find you on Etsy.

Anyone have any creative ideas for using the screen's odd side storage?

Any third party accessories available?

I plan on keeping USB cables in there. Then when the family is in the vehicle, I can pass them out.

Do you go off-roading? I've never really found a use for a compass in a vehicle. I'm curious how you would use it.

I would use it about like the rest of the nonsense on this thread... To look cool. 🤣

Not into making more. I didn't even take measurements really, or make a drawing. I just made a paper template to capture the taper. It was a fun quick woodworking project. That would be a good 3D printing project to design and make an exact fit RAM mount mounting block to fit in there.

Maybe a small bong, and for later a package of ding dongs slide in beside.
Looks perfect size for a one hitter
