Re: College Design Project

How about a CD holder that works and id's the CD that is in the player. I find the overhead in both my Honda and Dodge vans pretty handy. Stores glasses, garage door opener but could use napkin/kleenex holder, phone, etc. Add to that, lights that actually point where you can aim them so the driver is not blinded and that stay on bright enough to read while you are waiting to pick up the kids after school. Although both cars have pullout center drawers for cups, neither does a great job on any style cup although the Dodge is adjustable, it is just not deep enough. Both have change holders but neither works well at all. Change jumps out when ever going over tracks or potholes. The net in between the center seats on the Dodge collects a lot of stuff but what most people need is a removable trash holder, map storage, a good place to put a snow brush, gloves and hat (for northern winters) and for long trips a power inverter for plugin appliances like laptops, DVD players, etc. One thing that is never available is a high current 12 volt outlet that is fused and can deliver more than 20 amps without voltage loss. (Ham radio mobile operators would love if this were possible.)
