go to your local vw dealer (just sack up and do it) and order a passat cupholder. you can mount it on any flat vertical surface (like on the right side of the shift console). it has two holders, and folds shut. It is VW part number 3A1 862 531 01C and is around 35 bucks, maybe less.

Hey, that looks very nice. But I called 3 different VW places and they told me $43, $41 and $40 for it. I wonder if I can bargain with them.

damn! that sounds outrageous. i'll call around and see what i can find!

[Seneb]

uh, yeah, f-that. 45 bucks from two places. i guess my crotch will stay cold!

in that little opening area in front of the shifter, i usually put change for tolls and all that

my p10 has a pullout ashtray right under that opening under the A/C panel

may I suggest you guys something? DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! hehahehae..

I thought there is one cup holder (one shalow one in front of the shift knob) and one in the arm rest compartment.

I have 2 shallow divots in my glovebox door, a very wide open area right infront of my gear shifter, and a slot right below the HVAC controls where the ashtray was removed and now a light shines down upon the wide open area right infront of my gear shifter :flash:

I might just see if I can get my VW friend to get me the hook up on that cupholder above for cheaper!!!!! :hehehe:

[Domiken]

Definetely gonna get that passat cupholder!!!

go down to your dealer and get the ashtray piece.
it replaces the (mine was the shitty fake wood) thing that encompasses the cig lighter, cup holder with no room, and the shifter.
That whole things snaps right out, just pull up where your shiftboot meets the plastic, on the side by the parkbrake.

The replacement comes with a lighter, and 'lighted' (oooh-aah) ashtray, and is not that fake wood BS, it is black plastic like the rest of interior.

I found the original change/cup holder, the change does not have the same lateral G rating that the car does.

oh, yeah, mine is a stick, don't know about you automagic guys.

If there is interest, I can search for the box in the garage and get a part number.

Walmart has 6 or so different kinds of cupholders for $10 or under right now, including the air vent one, the fold out one, and one that "wedges" between the center console and your seat. Check it out.

At least they have it at Super WalMart, don't know about SmallMart.

i got one in my front arm rest too, its removable so i took it out to stick all my wonderful junk in it. an as for my one under the radio, i can only fit pop cans in it so i just use it for change now. If i ever have i drink in my car i use the arm rest in the back seat, but i have to reach back every time im thirsty... "pant pant pant" but yea our p11 cupholders suck doo doo.

here's the part number:

F8800-7J101
Desc- Ashtray-Inner, Instr.

Was $54 about a year ago.

If I had a digital camera, I'd take pictures, but basically, it is black plastic, ashtray on the right side, lighter on left.

Bro dont bother getting that ashtray part, keep the fake wood. That ashtray thing for the p11 makes your car look cheap. I saw it when i had just gotten my wood kit, i didnt want to put the matching wood over the cheap piece that comes with the car so i went to the dealership and bought the black piece, the first time they gave me the wrong onwe thats jow i know. I put it on too to see how it loked, it looks like $hit. Thats part of the SMOKERS PACKAGE.
