I put a box/pack of baby wet wipers in the empty space between the slider tray and the armrest padding, it’s very often the first thing I reach for once in the vehicle from work and questionable shopping places… I’m glad it’s there actually, so I don’t need to take it out of any bins, fastest access when it’s basically exposed fully. (I miss the completely empty bottom centre console of the 3rd gens…)
How do I remove the sliding tray in the center console? 2022 hybrid
I picked up my new 2022 hybrid yesterday and love it... except for the console storage. HATE that part.
Is there anything that will turn that gaping hole under the armrest/cover into some kind of actually useable space? Is there some kind of 4 walled insert that can go in there maybe?
Open to any suggestions!
thanks!
EDIT to add: I bought some stuff to help me organize it in a way that better suits my needs, but I need to take the sliding trays out completely. I can slide them back and flip them up, but I can't figure out how to take them OUT. If anyone knows how, I'd appreciate the help!

That is very cool!I keep a Netgear LTE hotspot in the lower compartment, powered by a 12-5 volt converter.
So the Head Unit can connect to the net without a phone, and passengers don't need to use their mobile data.
It can feed up to 20 users at 50 Mb/s each., makes me popular at campgrounds.
It can also store 128 GB of media folks can access if there's no cellular coverage.
Gosh, I don't know what I'd do without that extra storage space. Here are some of the items I keep there - keeping in mind I am a male who doesn't carry a handbag that women might otherwise keep the same items in it:I picked up my new 2022 hybrid yesterday and love it... except for the console storage.

New face masks for people riding with me who forgot theirs and the places we go that require them
Notepad with a couple pens
Travel size deodorant, disposable razor, toothpaste and mouthwash in a small bag
Scissors (amazing how often I use them)
Pocket knife
Hand sanitizer
Hairbrush
TIcTacs/Tums/Rolaids
Emergency Contact list
Handiwipes
Dental Floss
Roll of quarters
Extra keys for house and other locations
Small flashlight
Granted, it's a mess down there - but no one sees it as long as the tray is covering it.
And THE top recommendation is . . . . . I need these close by after hiking or mountain biking or extended trips, so I pop up the arm rest and share with the wife! 😁 See it here!I picked up my new 2022 hybrid yesterday and love it... except for the console storage. HATE that part.

We traded a 2018 lease for a 2022 lease, and my least favorite part of the 2022 is the way Honda reconfigured the console lid. Liked 2018’s better.
Careful what you ask for: we just got the '22 HRV for it's safety features and interior storage is a joke - can't even stand up a 16oz water bottle in the door nor a tissue box in between the seats! My '17 CRV has been a dream but this one is gonna be a nightmare, at least as far as comfort goes!I picked up my new 2022 hybrid yesterday and love it... except for the console storage.

I bought some organization things that might help me make it useable. I'd like to remove the sliding trays completely. Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks!

We have 2 HRVs in the family. it's what my kids drive. And yeah... it's definitely worse from a storage standpoint! Good luck making it work!Careful what you ask for: we just got the '22 HRV for it's safety features and interior storage is a joke - can't even stand up a 16oz water bottle in the door nor a tissue box in between the seats!

On UK models, we can remove the tray entirely - not sure if thats something that you can/cant do on your 2022 car.
That only shows that you can flip it up, not remove it. I've tried youtube and google, but can't find anything.

Might well be the case that the newer models like yours are not detachable.
4mins in - shows how the tray is removable for UK cars....
They're different now. It's 2 flat pieces and the front slides on top of the back one. It's hinged at the back wall of the armrest and doesn't just slide out like that.4mins in - shows how the tray is removable for UK cars....
Flipping it up then, may be your only choice (bar snapping it off and breaking it).
LOL! I might get to that point! 😂Flipping it up then, may be your only choice (bar snapping it off and breaking it).
It's not even the lower part that I don't like. It's the empty space under the cover/armrest. The space under the sliding trays is, itself an unorganizable space. But the trays will end up with stuff on them, often making it a pain to access the space below. I'm not going to shove things into that space under the armrest. I'd rather have something there that can hold things I need easier access to where I can just lift up the armrest for access. I may build and mount some kind of box in there that the armrest would serve as the top to.
100 % agree, it's very poorly thought out and should have a utility space under the armrest like a Nissan Rogue.I picked up my new 2022 hybrid yesterday and love it... except for the console storage. HATE that part.

Here is one more option for you. Multiple versions of it available. Expensive, shipping cost is there and many months wait time expected.
As for the sliding tray, just keep it in the folded upright position. I'm pretty sure it can be removed once the top arm rear area is removed. If you are not a DYI person, take it to the dealer, they will remove it for you.
I would still leave it alone and put a nice bag there with multiple pockets to store things to your heart's content.
PS: nothing working out? time to look for a new car. This time, take all the stuff you want to put it in there, for the test drive.

Do you not have cup holders in the console? No room for a tissue box? I have absolutely no issues with the amount of storage space. I bought rubber inserts for all the cubbies and was surprised how many there actually are.Careful what you ask for: we just got the '22 HRV for it's safety features and interior storage is a joke - can't even stand up a 16oz water bottle in the door nor a tissue box in between the seats!

How
It's been just a few days. Give it time with it just flipped up, and you'll probably be fine with it. There may be a point where you'll appreciate the security of closing it.LOL! I might get to that point! 😂
I have the perfect solution but it won't work with the tray in place, even folded up. Thanks thoughHow
