Removing Cd holder and replacing with cup holders - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Heh I was getting annoyed of not having cup holders either, so I drove down to Auto Zone, and got a cup holder set that fits between the center console and passenger seat. It's barely any compromise to anything, even passenger room. Only cost me 7 bucks.

But it does look a little bad, so I guess getting proper cup holders may be better.

Can you post a picture of the cup holder in place? I have the same issue when I removed the headunit and cup holder for the Avic D3. I was thinking of doing something similar but wasn't sure how it would work.

Thanks,

Like to see a picture because your 2001 should have cupholders. From my failing memory the only way to avoid them was is if you had the PCM or DSP options.

I had the stock cup holders but removed them when I put in the Avic D3 - that's why I wanted to see the after market one from AutoZone. I was thinking of removing the CD holder and putting back the original cup holder in place of the CD holder but it might be too close to the stick shift when in 1st, 3rd or 5th gear.
