Why not switch the position of the CD player and the cupholder?

It would be harder to put in a CD, but doing that while driving is an unnecessary distraction, imo.

I found those seats at the junkyard, no tears, no stains, no signs of use. BUT, they came from a S5 with a blue interior.

I used to have something like the console in the picture. I attached it on top of the passenger bin cover. Lasted until my tool box slid into it.

What about on the backside of the center console? It'd be sort of a stretch, but, there's not many options.

Consoles come in different shapes and sizes. My main use for it was just to hold the drinks. Im not the type to drive and reach over for a drink while the car is in motion.

Then why do you need a cupholder?

I want one for when I go through the drive-thru and am buying for more than 1 person. Otherwise I just put the drink in the center console. I don't drink and drive! .

I attempted that when I was installing it but the brackets weren't going to allow it without me figuring out a way to modify something. I was feeling lazy at the time so, i just put it in and hoped for the best. My shifter is really loose though so I'm thinkin' it may be ok after I get the bushings replaced. I only smash my fingers on it a little lol. I'll get a pic of the current clearance to the shifter and post it.
