Center console pocket width is even worse on cars with smart start button. In your place i wouldn't bother about modifying it, but rather install good mobile phone mount (preferably active one, so that less inconvenience to separately connect charging cable each time, and maybe universal one, so that both your wife and you can mount/use your phones in it. I got brodit one for myself & passed wire behind dash to usb charge adapter in glove-box cig-plug port for less wire clutter). With phone in mount it's also much easier to use them for eg. navigation or music playback operation. As for pocket .. i just accept as fact that it's useless. Recall one DIY mod of relocating start button to steering column & retrofitting wider pocket w/o start button on it, but i decided to live with it as is.
