Post some pics or give me some ideas of what you keep in that cubby? Wish they would have modified it for better use on the new 2016 since its no longer needed for the SD slot any more on that side. Its still kind of shallow and useless. Seems like anything would fall out, and that can be dangerous near the drivers feet.
what do you keep in that square cubby hole on the drivers side?

An open silicone container for spare change and a few dollars for whatever
I spent more time and energy on this than I should have, but I had an RX-8 and I always kept spare change there for random things - parking meters, tips for parking in the off-site lot, etc. As the CX-5 cubby hole was not usable as is, I measured it and searched on Amazon until I found these containers - https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned). Fits perfectly enough for me, doesn't move, can't see that the back bit curves up from a normal angle. See pics with it installed - sorry about not being in-line, my browser is acting up.

I'm thinking of putting a somewhat hidden Homelink ($25) transmitter in there
with just the buttons and bezel facing down from the top part

I ended up buying this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-For-MAZDA-CX-5-cx5-central-control-storage-box-glove-box-for-cx-5/32470967630.html. Seems like the only thing to make it usable for me. Unfortunately it took forever to come in and also one of the slots melted to the other, so only one is usable. It still is good enough to fit my gym card, restaurant coupon cards, and buisness cards along with a streamlight penlight. It also fits in there really well and I'm still happy to have it. I may write them to try to get a replacement.
