Door inside a door
After a year and a half of ownership I just noticed that there is a door that covers the ash tray. This is of course under the door that covers the lighter and ash tray (under the climate controls). It does not stay closed though when the front door is opened. What good is it then? Is is supposed to close?

If you pull the ash tray out, you'll notice it's spring loaded. You could disable it...or you could eliminate it.
Many use that cubby hole for garage door opener, to hide their high tech widget, switch panel for NOS, hide out for their GLOCK...

Its to keep the smells enclosed
I took mine out when I fitted my heated seat switches. It serves no purpose at all if you don't plan to smoke in the car.
