99-2001 Radio Trim update to 2002-2004

I purchased a cartridge style 'under vent' cupholder that I didn't realize only fits 2002-2004. Is there a way for me to modify my current setup to make it fit or should I swap out the whole radio area for the 2002-2004 setup? I have a 2001 996 with double din radio. Appreciate your guys help.

Year: 2009 Make: Porsche Model: Cayenne Price: $55000 Mileage: 45300 Color: Black Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing Location (State): NC Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: 4WD & AWD After I sold the 996tt, I decided to get something entirely different and purchased a 2009 Cayenne Turbo S. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ever-rain.html No, not as fast as a 996tt with tune, but with 550HP stock it is still a blast to drive and is REALLY comfortable. I looked for quite a while until I found the 957tts I was looking for - low mileage, fully optioned tts, no winter (salt), under 40K miles, SUPER condition. The challenge was people buy Cayennes, and drive them and drive them - they don't turn over very often with low mileage / pampered. I have all service records from day 1 directly from Porsche. Maintenance performed on time, clean CarFax, the prior owner had all the carpet / floor mats covered in plastic he was that much of a fanatic, like myself. He had a garage full of other cars so this was an occasional use SUV. I have the original window sticker laminated in plastic - $139K. Options include Seat memory package, Exterior Trim in Black, XM Satellite Radio, Universal Audio (USB connection and Blue Tooth), Moonroof, Porsche Entry and Drive (can lock/unlock with key in your pocket), Rear Camera & Parking Assist, 4 Zone Airconditioning (can control rear separate from front), Bluetooth Phone Interface, Stainless Illuminated door entry guards, Interior trim painted Black (same color as exterior), Roof Rails In Black, Towing Package, Bose Stereo, NAV, Xenon.....please see Original Window Sticker for additional options - I don't think there were many options NOT ordered. Also comes with K40 Radar Detector ($3500). PPO performed at purchase, NO issues, car had full 40K service with new spark plugs. Since purchasing in Nov, 2014 things I've done - total invested ($11K+) in what started as a super nice Turbo S is now NEAR PERFECT. TechArt (from Germany) front Valence with quad Xenon lights (fog and high beams). ($6K with paint and installation) When I had the valence painted, I had the front and rear bumpers removed and repainted ($3K) - once again few (very few) small stone chips on front bumper, rear bumper had 1 minor scratch. Work done by shop in Charlotte, NC that only works on high end cars, Ferrari, Bentley, etc. Paint match is perfect and I AM A PERFECTIONIST - so is the body shop owner!! Professional clear coat restoration - paint is a 9.9/10 there were some very minor clear coat imperfections - most people would never notice them, but I'm a fanatic. Stainless door sills - scratches removed and polished to mirror finish Original wheels refinished in BMW M5 series 3 step powder coat ($1K), dark primer, hyper silver, clear - few shops in the US can duplicate this finish - they are beautiful - pictures really don't capture how good they look on this SUV New Michelin Latitude rear tires (N1 Porsche model) - $1K Rear tires probably had 40% tread left, but I decided while the wheels were being refinished, might as well replace the tires - I have the other set of tires as well in the garage. Why am I selling now that I have it just the way I wanted it, moving to coastal NC and decided this is TOO nice for salt air and trips to the beach. MANY more pictures on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/gp/135158373@N03/11V9cx TechArt front Valence custom ordered from Germany with quad Xenon Lights Exterior Black Trim Package Towing Package K40 Radar Detector - operated with remote Key FOB, cannot be seen except for two small blue LED lights on dash below the gauges Full Leather Seats. 4 Zone Air Conditioning Controls Stainless Illuminated Door Sills polished to high gloss. Carbon Fiber engine trim - exclusive on the Turbo S model Allacantra full leather head liner, Porsche Emblem on seats, Power Moonroof NAV, Bluetooth, Rear Camera, Parking Assist Wheels refinished in BMW M5 (3) part powder coat - Beautiful Wheels refinished in BMW M5 (3) part powder coat - Beautiful All controls are like new, no scratches, marks!! Interior trim painted (from factory) in High Gloss exterior Black, really nice against the white gauges.

So this is an image of my radio bezel and the cartridge cup holders i'm trying to fit. Has anyone ever put a new radio carriage or trim/vent into a 99-2001 dash? I am curious if the swap is possible so I can use these cupholders with a double din radio or can I move the double din to where the temperature control and cubby are down below and relocate the climate control and cubby up top to make this work?

Beautiful !

I am going to remove the trim piece and cut out below the vent and it should fit in there. If not I'm ordering another trim and radio support anyways. I'll take more pics. Major issue i'm having is this is a 'navigation trim' and it changes if you don't have that.

Looks fantastic.

Well, no luck. There is a carriage for the old navigation mounted further back in the dash and I would have to cut the bottom of the 'vents' for it to slide in. No cup holders for me!

Most pristine cayenne award goes to you sir. Thats perfection for over 40k miles, glws.

You aren't missing much. They are worthless.

That is just gorgeous, glws! Nice house by the way, looks really interesting.

Quote: I wasn't looking to put large drinks in it. Just needed a place to put my daughter's sippy cup when we go on cruises. She falls asleep with the wind blowing and I don't want her cup spilling. I might look at that cup holder that sits down by your legs that tucks under the console. I saw it on here once, but I don't remember the name of the product or company

Added Original Window Sticker with Options list - see pdf attachments.

You can get a front trim for 2002, it should fit. Cheap second hand.. There are dozens all the time.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-2002...7b2966&vxp=mtr Not sure if you need any other piece just do a search... Maybe this too... not sure http://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-RWD-Por...123914&vxp=mtr

Soo wish this was not black

Think you need something like this...it says: "Upgrade this in your older Porsche if you want a cup holder." http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-986-...71003564308%26

I know this thread is long dead, but this is a nice car and it surprised me that such a perfectionist owner would not notice the poorly applied "Cayenne Turbo S" script on the tailgate. Just sayin'!

Quote: That's exactly what I need, but wrong color. Does the vent piece still work with my existing vent setup? Seems like they wouldn't mate together properly inside the dash.

The badge is not applied poorly??? Don't use the reflection in the paint to line it up, use the body lines. At first glace I can see what your talking about but its because the reflection of the background in the black paint, not the badge.

There is a metal support bracket that supports the back of the cup holder that changed in 2002... #19 in the below diagram. It's back in the recess, might be difficult to install. If you absolutely need something to hold a cup, might try one of these? www.ultimatecupholders.com

Not to keep bumping this old thread, however sureshot is correct. the "Cay" is a little high. Reference the the lower edge of the rear glass as a perfect line and see how everything but "Cay" line up with it.

Have you used the ultimate cup holders yourself? Interesting on how strong it is against corner tipping. Do feel safer with it lower because if it spills it's not on electronics (at least).

Yup, and the words Cayenne and Turbo are too close, they almost touch. Not trying to pick a fight, like I said, very nice wheels.....just sayin'! This is correct spacing:

+1 on Ultimate Cupholder. I have 2 of them and really like the stability and capacity.

Quote: +1 again. They are awesome in corners. I have a cup of coffee every morning on the way in to work. With the (worthless) stock cup holders on my '99 they were a place to rest when shifting, that's it. With these, I tend to forget about the coffee on the drive in and have my first sip walking in the office. Never spilled a drop with a variety of different travel mugs.

This spam post has bumped this thread to the top, and I can never unsee that lettering.

I have the ones that clip into the vents I use for my son. He has the same problem as your child. They are nice, easy to install and remove when not needed and work really nice. http://www.eagleday.com/bocupho.html

Quote: Those are nice. I have them. I have also ultimate cup holders. All right too.

Are you adverse to the cupholder s for the earlier style dash? Here is a link. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40 I have these in my car and they work pretty good. I put the climate control in the lower section and the radio below these cupholders. I know many like the ultimate cupholders but I found then annoying. Constantly hitting my leg on them.

Quotes source post: 3861792

Quote: I installed a double din in the upper unit because it replaced a Navigation unit. Otherwise I would have had to install a regular carriage in there to move the climate control and install cupholder, then move the double din stereo to below. That is an option, but I already purchased the cartridge style before thinking. Time to list it on ebay.

Quote: Those just seem flimsy to me? Also my daughter would have either a warm or cold drink depending on how I set the temp that day.
