Has anyone thought of a good use for that single card slot below the driver's side air vent? I have no security or traffic cards to place there. At first I thought it'd be neat if someone made a change holder that had a credit-card sized tab-mount, but I haven't found anything like that. I did however notice something odd on the Toyota Japan website. Take a look at #15 カードホルダー"Card Holder" toyota.jp プリウスα ｜ インテリア ｜ ユーティリティ・居住性 ｜ フロントビュー Any idea what that ETC thing is? Ahhh... the ETC is just a fancy traffic toll reader: About ETC cards - ETC portal site Electronic toll collection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I found a couple of interesting options: Rakuten: TMS-made Prius alpha (ZVW4 #) for single drinks holder- Shopping Japanese products from Japan Rakuten: Storing | in the car | for Car Mate NZ515 drink holder prius α | Air-conditioner installation | Toyota Prius αZVW40 | 40 prius α | Prius α parts | Prius α article | Institute for car life creation | Car article convenience- Shopping Japanese products from Japan Unfortunately, these options fit the larger opening only found in the Japanese version: Has anyone found a Toyota part website for Japan parts similar to this US one?

I was looking at that slot the other day and wondering how to make better use of it. Hopefully someone has done something clever. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ? Pro
Coupons. I get coupons for Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Walgreen's. They go into the slot. When I go to the store, I've always got 'em with me.
I use mine to hold my gas discount cards (2). It's handy and I'll never forget to have it with me when I fill up!
i don't think my 2013 prius Four, not IV as uppercase roman numerals were used for model year 2010, has this slot?
It will hold 4-5 cards for me: shopping stores, townhouse entry; etc. I am willing to trade for other use if any members can find.
I used to place parking garage tickets in there until the buildings started requiring you to pay inside before you leave. I think there is a market opportunity for somebody to gut a $30 P10 scanner and repackage it in a 3D printed case to fit the slot. I would use it to read coolant temp and true mph but it can display many standard points and has a code reader function. Or a 3D phone mount.
