Default New 2010 IS350...What...an ashtray?

I have not seen an ashtray in a car for many, many years. I do not need one. Anyone know if there is a way to replace this with some useful storage area or something??

I just wiggled out the little metal piece. It's a spot for my bluetooth headset.

Took everything removable out and my salesman gave me one of the dummy cigarette lighter plugs like was in my 2004 RX to fill the hole since I removed the cigarette lighter.

Air switches, air gauges, iPod docks, iPhone docks. plenty of things you can do with the space. I wonder if TEAS fits in there.
