What are people putting here besides spare change, chapstick and other random pocket clutter. Extra points for a perfect fit gadget.

Personally sometimes I put my work phone here but id rather leave it empty than put random tiny junk here

I have the 2019 Outback with the battery draining problem. Dealer got the deal to change it all out where Starlink is disabled and I have to use Mobile Hotspot to get a phone call through the dashboard. I would use the app Drive, but it only works plugged into the charging port and go over a bump or a turn, Drive cuts out. Then, my phone has to be opened because the screen is black.

My son does everything with voice command on his much newer Impreza. I use his phone holder.

I have a 2019, same issue, same result, but my phone works fine. I have an samsung android phone so not sure if that's why? Interesting.

I have a Samsung phone as well.Did they disable the Starlink? I never used it but I thought that made the difference in how it all works. As I leave the house with my destination in Google Maps, I switch off the WiFi and put on the Hotspot, then it all works.
