- USB sockets for charging smartphones and tablets.
- Watch.
- Switch for fog lights, exterior lighting, heated rear window.
- Vehicle control instruments (ammeter, voltmeter).
- Pocket for small items near the gearshift lever.
What can be placed on the center console
Tuning enthusiasts make their own beard to place on this panel:

- knobs for adjusting the level of illumination of the dashboard;
- switch block for fan, fog lights, external lighting;
- pocket for small items;
- USB sockets for charging gadgets
- part of a car's control devices.
Before taking measurements for the manufacture of the center console, it is necessary to remove decorative trims from the existing part and anything that will interfere with the installation of the new part. In order not to be mistaken with the dimensions, you must first make blanks from cardboard and try them on.

Materials and tools
Console tuning usually consists of making a new VAZ 2107 beard, on which mounting locations for switches, indicators, control devices and other equipment are pre-provisioned. The most affordable material for making your own beard is plywood. The thickness must be at least 6 mm, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve the required rigidity of the product. For finishing, artificial leather is most often used, matched to the color of the interior elements, or, more recently, carbon fiber of a suitable color.
Sometimes tuning the beard of a VAZ 2107 is accompanied by a comprehensive redesign of the interior design with the replacement of finishing materials for the door trim and trim of the front panel with carbon fiber or leatherette. To make a tuned VAZ 2107 beard, in addition to finishing materials, the following devices and tools are needed:
- jigsaw;
- electric drill or cordless screwdriver;
- “grinder” (angle grinder);
- locksmith corner;
- pencil;
- ruler (roulette);
- glue gun (tube of glue);
- furniture stapler (for fastening leatherette).
The new console (beard) is installed in place of the standard one, which should be dismantled to free up space and take the measurements necessary to create the workpiece drawings.
