I have a 2020 Honda Civic and I’m wondering what the point of this hole is. I think something fell in there because I hear it rolling around when I turn. Can anyone tell me how I can open it up? Is it okay if I just tape over it?
It’s for routing cables through.
It’s for running cables through. I actually liked that feature in my Civic because it gave me extra mini storage.

Yeah, I miss my 10th gen Civic for that reason. I could keep my phone in the bottom and other stuff up top, or switch them around. Plus, the blind spot camera was awesome. The whole layout was great, and that little cubbie to the lower left of the shifter was super handy too.

Same here. I used to have the Hatch EX and that was one of my favorite features, plus the camera on the right side. Now I have the Accord 2.0T and sometimes I miss my hatch. It was so much easier to park in tight spots.

Yeah, but it really annoys me that you have to put your phone horizontally. Depending on the phone, it might not even fit.

You should be able to reach it from the passenger side. The whole area is open there.
Man, I’m so dumb, I didn’t realize there was space underneath!
Yeah, like mentioned, the USB ports are under it. You can plug in your device and route the cables through the hole.
I just use it to store coins, receipts, and whatever else I can fit in there.
It’s for cable management for the optional ‘eject-o seat-o’.
Whenever I see a random hole, I just stick something in it.
On my Passport, that’s where the wireless charging pad is.
It’s for routing cables. I hated this feature on my old Civic, though. Why do cars have that two-tier storage under the center console? It’s so hard to get to the plugs. Just give me one deeper, easier-to-reach storage area with no obstructions.
I once thought I lost my keys, but they were stuck in that hole.

In Europe, this was an extra feature for about 100 euros.

It’s for cords.
That’s where you keep your napkins, straws, and ketchup packets.
You can put your weed in there.
