Renderhaus Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 What exactly is that device on the dash console just to the right of the AC & stereo unit? For the three years I had spent searching ebaymotors, autotrader.com and others in search of my SC400 (before I was in a position to actually buy one), I noticed something that some SC interiors had but most didn't - that curvy looking piece of dash accessory mounted vertically on the dash. My SC doesn't have one. I use the empty space to put stuff in, like parking passes. I was once lead to believe that this piece was an aftermarket pop-out cup-holder (or post-production dealer accessory). I've only seen it in pictures of other peoples cars. In fact, even the showroom brochure for my year ('93) shows that spot empty. {yes, I actually kept the SC brochure I got from the Detroit International Auto Show in 1993} So what exactly is that thing?

jbarhorst2 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 It's a pop out cupholder. But it is not very good. You cannot drive and have your drink there because it WILL spill. It can be good if you are drinking in your car when you are parked. But, Parked ONLY! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renderhaus Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 That's kinda what I figured. So, was it a standard item - and most people have just snatched them out? What year did they start offering it? - Not that I want to get one. I'll take your word on the pop-spillage thing. The last thing I need is pop all in the my console. thanks!

SAMOHT023 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I just use that empty spot for the remote that goes to my stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarhorst2 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 That's where I mounted my XM radio bracket also. I custom made my own bracket so that I could use the holes that were already at the back of the opening. No drilling and when I sell the car in a few years I can pop the cupholder back in.
