2014-2016 Hyundai Genesis Console Tray: A Simple Part with a Confusing Price
This guide covers the drop-in organizer tray for the 2014-2016 Hyundai Genesis sedan, including how to find a good used one and avoid compatibility mistakes.
- This console tray fits the 2014-2016 Hyundai Genesis SEDAN and 2017 Genesis G80 only; it does NOT fit the Genesis Coupe.
- Replacement is a simple drop-in procedure that takes less than a minute and requires no tools.
- A new OEM tray is extremely expensive ($450+), making a used OEM part in good condition the most logical and cost-effective choice.
- There are no recalls or TSBs for this part; failures are due to physical damage, not a design flaw.
Symptoms of a Failing Console Tray
As a simple, non-mechanical plastic part, the console tray does not have traditional failure symptoms. Any issues will be the result of physical damage or cosmetic wear. There are no associated warning lights or vehicle performance issues.
- Cracks or Fractures: The most common issue is physical breakage. Dropping the tray or placing heavy, sharp objects on it can cause the plastic to crack, especially around the thin edges or compartment dividers.
- Warping: Prolonged exposure to extreme heat and direct sunlight can cause the plastic to warp. A warped tray may not sit flush within the console, causing it to rattle or slide around.
- Scratches and Stains: Normal use can lead to scratches and discoloration from keys, coins, and other items. Spills can also cause permanent stains.
Warning: This part is for the 2014-2016 Hyundai Genesis sedan only. It will not fit the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, which uses a completely different center console design and part numbers.
Buying a Used 2014-2016 Genesis Console Tray
Given the high cost of a new replacement from a dealer, buying a used OEM tray is the most practical and economical option. For a simple plastic part like this, a used one in good condition is functionally identical to a new one.
What to Inspect on a Used Tray
- Check for Cracks: Carefully inspect the entire tray, paying close attention to the corners, edges, and any dividers. Flex the tray slightly to reveal any hairline cracks that may not be immediately visible.
- Look for Warping: Place the tray on a perfectly flat surface. It should sit evenly without any rocking or gaps, which would indicate it has been warped by heat.
- Assess Cosmetic Condition: Look for deep scratches, gouges, or chemical stains that won't come off with simple cleaning. Minor scuffs are normal for a used part, but avoid trays with significant surface damage.
- Verify the Part Number: If possible, confirm the part number on the tray is 84675-B1000 or 84675-B1000-ZH3. This ensures you are getting the correct part for your vehicle.
Cost Comparison
The price difference between new and used for this part is significant, making a used OEM part an excellent value.
| Part Type | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| New OEM | $450 - $470 |
| New Aftermarket | Not Available |
| Used OEM | $30 - $60 |
| Shop Labor | $0 |
Pro Tip: The new OEM price appears unusually high for a plastic tray. This may be due to it being bundled with a larger console assembly at some dealerships. Always confirm you are only buying the tray itself. Searching used parts marketplaces is highly recommended.
Installation: A 1-Minute Job
Replacing the console tray is extremely simple and requires no tools.
- Open the center console armrest lid.
- Lift the old or broken tray straight up and out of the compartment.
- Place the new tray into the top of the console compartment, ensuring it sits flush.
Note: Do not attempt to remove the entire center console assembly. Videos showing the removal of the shifter trim and console structure are for replacing other components and are not necessary for this simple tray replacement.

There are no known Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) or safety recalls from Hyundai or the NHTSA related to the center console tray for the 2014-2016 Hyundai Genesis. While recalls exist for this vehicle concerning the ABS module and instrument cluster, they do not involve this part.
