"CD Shelf Center Console" = WORTHLESS

[MrBoxster]

What is with this CD holder anyway??? It holds 4 CD's for crying out loud!!!

The space could have been used for something cool...like a half-way descent cup holder or a fold-out third seat (ok, maybe not a seat)?!?!?!

I want to remove it and put up a blank space (flat black). Is this something I could do myself? Or is there a solution I could do to get this $45 option, I was forced to get, out of my car???? I am trying to mount a DELPHI SKYFI XM Receiver but have limited space.

I don't have that. I have the equalizer thing below the cd player. And I barely use the cd player. I run my Sirius tuner 90% of the time or plug in the MP3.
I went to Best Buy the other day and noticed they had only one cd changer for sale. Porsche audio needs to catch up to BMW and others.

Porsche offers a factory Cup holder Tray or cubby space that fits this space. You can often find them on ebay as well.

I ordered one of these...my cd storage thing squeeks like crazy

Obviously you haven't seen the cup holder...

I have both, and let me tell you, the cd holder is 1000 times more useful than the factory cup holder that can't hold any normal size coffee mug and will throw a water bottle at your back window if you try to use it while moving. I ended up buying the cup holder insert that sits in the arm rest console (for way too much money considering what it is).

I'd like to rip the cd holder and the cup holder both out and mount a touchscreen for a car pc or something.

I've been thinking of removing my lower center console for more leg room AND the GT3 look it inspires. Cup holders? CD Holders? Who uses that crap

If you had my Alpine MP3-enabled CD head unit, you could hold no less than 32 CD's within those four spaces. I squeeze 8 albums in MP3 format (recorded at 190 no less) on each CD-R.

If I didn't need both my cubbies so much, I'd have bought a CD holder from someone on this forum that has the factory CDR220 head unit and finds it a waste of space.

I agree on the worthless CD shelf, I mean mine came with the 6-CD changer in the front and you can not insert a CD into the head unit... So you put 4 CD's into the holder and when you want to switch CD's you pull over and pop the trunk

Now that is true German engineering (or prior owner's worthless options)

Not really extremely cool, but I gutted it and mounted my GPS there:
