Suggestion
Perhaps I am missing something, but after replacing the cd holder with a cubby does it not look silly to have two cubbys, one on top of the other?

I'm truly new to all this, I never knew I could replace the cd holders.

It feels like I just started using Rennlist yesterday.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

No takers! Shocking! Who doesn't need a 4 disc cd holder that takes up that much space? Sometimes I just look at mine and laugh. In many ways it's reassuring that the engineers at Porsche are so focused on how this car drives that they would put something so completely useless into the interior of the car.
The less space, the less clutter for me. I tend to leave a million gum wrappers, which later find there way floating thruout the cabin at speed. Less space is less mess. I'm thinking of putting another cd holder in my cubby area....lol
I pulled mine and replaced with the upper storage tray bought from Bumperplugs. Tray looks much better than the ridiculous cd holder.
My cd holder is going up on ebay too, unless someone here wants it...
I'm truly new to all this, I never knew I could replace the cd holders. I think I'll look into a cubby as well, I don't even listen to CDs. Nice to have a place for the cell phone.
Ordered mine today from Motor Werks, my local Porsche dealer. It was $55 and some change, is it really $30-35 from other dealers. Good to learn this on a small item.
Some cars that came with CD changers had cassette players in-dash just behind the faceplate. I recally my father's 2000 C4 cab having that exact feature.
All this talk about shelves has me thinking about removing my CD holder and putting in the shelf.
Edward, you have been on Rennlins for almost 3 years and you haven't replaced your CD holder? The "mod statute of limitation" is running out on you, so you need get that shelf in ASAP!
Seriously, the shelf is much more functional than the CD holder and it looks better, too.
Tim, when you mentioned 3 years, I almost fell over. It feels like I just started using Rennlist yesterday. Love this place.
Anyway, here's the story on the CD holder: I still sort of use it even though I've had an mp3 wired for ages now. I still think that CDs sound better. But, more honestly, I bought a CD holder surround from MACarbon a year or two back and think it looks good. If I get rid of the holder, it's sort of like throwing away that purchase. But you're right, I really do envy everyone who has a shelf. Would make juggling a bunch of items in the car a lot easier, especially since I don't have a glove compartment. I'll get around to getting the shelf from MACarbon soon.
Yeah, I have the digital surround controller in the bottom half of the center console so I'll only have one shelf also, when I get around to installing it.
Thanks for posting the picture Tim. I believe that you have convinced me to ditch the cd holder. The thing that pisses me off the most about mine is that it rattles relentlessly. Regardless of whether there are cds in the little holders or not it just rattles away.
You are welcome. The upper shelf was one of the items I recently gave away and when I put the CD holder back in, I thought the CD holder looked odd and bulky in the center stack. Plus, I missed the ease of getting to items that were in the upper tray.
Motor Werks in Barrington, IL charged me $56.99, $61.55 w/tax, for my cubby. Good lesson to learn on something low price like this.
Thought I would give them some free advertsing.
Now the question is should one hang on to the cd holder to reinstall before you eventually sell your car or should you just pawn it off on ebay? I wonder if it will even help resale value at all.
