The trunk space in the CX-3 is very limited so I have tried many different ways to organize my gears/supplies. Today I settle on a version that is hopefully final. Most of my wrenches, tools, and fasteners are in the three pouches strapped to the upper deck. A welding felt covers the pouches so...

To help my weak battery, I set the edge of this 20w panel on top of the infotainment screen for better exposure when I drive. If you will leave the panel on your dash (connected or not) while driving, choose a panel that is entirely black with minimal silver lines (or worse, an orange frame)...
