You say you want a revolution in storage and convenience?Well its not surprising that since the car’s inception, owners of the Mk3 have yearned for more useable interior storage space. The Store-It Inset Tray is the perfect accessory to keep loose valuables such as cell phones, radar detectors, GPS navigators, ipods, cameras, wallets or other personal articles from flying about the cabin while ridding your car of the unusable cup holder! With a fit and finish to match your factory center console, the insert tray also features an integrated 12-Volt outlet for powering or charging your electronic devices. Your Store-It Tray will arrive complete with a dedicated wiring harness, an elongated replacement lid, and detailed instruction to make installation a breeze.

Fitted this Centre console tray two months ago. it looks just like the old one but ten times more useful,i can now put things in, with out them getting trapped under the tray lid. and i can now charge the phonein there. but needs some kind off mat for the base, my wooly hat works for me.As for fitting you may need some patience, and some clips could break when removing trim.

Once again first class service from MX5 parts easy to fit , great quality I have run the I Pod and USB connection from a Kenwood KIV 700 head unit into the Storage Tray I Pod is out of site no diving in to the glove box to connect up and still room for mobile phone and other items plus no messy wires hanging about.A couple of tips the electric window switch wiring loom if you prise the clip off of the stud this allows the console to be lifted up higher giving more room to unclip the switch connector block , somebody said it was difficult to connect the additional wires to the original cigar lighter loom, much easier if you remove the two srews holding the heated seat/cigar lighter switch panel pull out and disconect swith connectors this gives far better access to connect the wires using the connectors provided.

Like the other guys said, it took about 1 1/2 hours to fit. Would've been quicker if the instructions were better. Though it is very expensive, the quality is good and I'm pleased I bought it. £5 extra for the mat is daylight robbery!!

Storage tray arrived in Western Australia a week after ordering. No problems with the quality however the instructions left a little to be desired until I enlarged them and translated the German instructions which were more detailed than the English. The installation took 3 hrs, partly due to the restricted access under the old tray and when installing the new. The removal of the electrical plug connections was extremely difficult. The connectors supplied for the power point cables were frankly, cheap and nasty. I replaced them with secure screw type connectors. It is a pity that the sliding lid seems to be only available in black and not in a colour to match the car trim (in my case Tan). Other than the price which is high for what it is, the tray is a worthwhile replacement of the original cupholders, which are one of the few retrograde aspects of the NC compared to my NB. The other is the screw in aerial (is there an electric replacement ?)

A damn site handier than two cup holders thats for sure. Needed a bit of moulding sprue removing to get a good fit by the window switches, but overall went in ok. Instructions were ok....after I'd printed out the illustrations a lot larger. Matched fairly well after coating with a bit of polish like the rest of the trim - which also made the lid slide nicely. Not cheap but that cup holder was driving me mad with it's uselessness!

I love this tray. Its exponentially more useful then the stock cup holder which is pointless since there are cup holders on the door. This kit was easy to install the probably was removing the plastic components install in the car. After everything was removed, installing the tray was simple. Due to taking my time trying not to damage my plastic tabs and things it took about 1.5 hours. The 12VDC was easy to put in too, just have to tap into the existing 12VDC supply then run the wires. Simple. Electrical parts all inside the kit. Holds my cell, coins, lip balm, gloves, etc.. This tray is a must.

Great idea, quite well made, match with original not bad at all, however, unlike other owners reports it took me longer than an hour to fix, nearer 3 hours. Space now useable, and extra socked ideal...Come on MAZDA you should have had this from the start. Finally, thanks MX5 Parts for prompt delivery, and good packageing.

I purchased the Storage tray and the armrest, Service from MX5 parts was excellent, next day delivery. My only gripe is the combined cost of these two items £120 excluding potsage costs.The installation was straightforward, the instructions were in English including the diagrams, although tiny. fitting the 12v power outlet was simple as well. The photograph of the armrest on this site, is exactly the way they appear in the car. I purchased the armrest purely for comfort, as having driven from Scotland to England recently I missed having a soft armrest.
