@samonela – ok well i already had a stereo installed a while back, so now
it has the kit because there wasnt enough room for the aftermarket stereo
in the original… so now its just blank space under the stereo…thats
when i looked into getting a cupholder
Nice job, haha. I hate those coin/cup things, I have a broken one in my ’95
Taurus. The piece that comes out of the bottom just snapped when I put a
glass bottle in there (not a beer hahah). Now I just have one of those
little plastic autozone ones between the front seats (bench seat ftw).
this is a cool little mod, we do this in the Mark2 Volkswagen jettas and
golfs in their centre consoles, I have one in mine and couldnt find out the
year until you showed me this video. thanks!
in the ’90, theres very little space between the shifter and the console. i
dont think i’d be able to use the cup holder or even to open it = thanks
for the guide tho
If you have a sedan, you could try changing over to the Coupe shifter knob
that has the “S” button on the front and kinda looks like a joy
stick….that oughta free up a little bit of space… But yeah I hear you
on the space issue….but I gotta 5 speed so no issue in 1, 3, or 5 gears
for me?
@samonela – ok well i already had a stereo installed a while back, so now
it has the kit because the original stereo space wasnt enough for a
aftermarket stereo… so now theres pretty much enough room to put
double-din under the stereo…but its just blank space…so thats why i
looked into getting a cupholder
mine’s an auto, sad to say. also, im not sure where i could get a coupe
shifter knob. i’d love to have a few cup holders, but i’d prefer it to be
higher (like bmw’s cupholders just above the glove compartment) on some
occasions, i just use the space between the seat and the door. theres just
enough room for me to fit a large drink from mcdonalds.
@CTAULAKI – probably pretty much the same process so long as you have a
double din opening to allow for a stereo and the cupholder unit to both be
mounted…

get around to installing it one of these days! So lazy haha
