These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • 986Forum: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261026T165820Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For a 1999 Boxster like mine, that didn’t come with cup holders, what solutions has the hive mind come up with?

POST 2Original post

Not sure what person or thread I found it on but I followed suit and went with ultimatecupholders.com 50 bucks for a pair though. I think you will hit it if you are super short and driving Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 3Original post

You can still buy the factory, vent mounted holders, but they're bank.

they are also very fragile and really poor cup holders IMHO. I took the german route, I dont try to drink a beverage when driving a car. :+)

POST 5Original post

Ultimate cup holders are nice. I do hit mine 'cause my legs are short, but I can still use it, and I can reach the passenger side holder too.

POST 6Original post

I use the ultimate cup holder also. I'm 5'10" and have no problem.

Okay, Ultimate cup holders it is! But this , below, is the correct answer.

POST 9Original post

I have the oem cup holder that mounts above the single DIN radio with it's hardware. Running without cup holders for now since I installed a double DIN radio. If you want it we can work out a deal.

POST 10Original post

There is also a cup holder that goes into the center console. It holds 2 cups. It stays inside the console and you can shut the lid, it has to stay open when it has drinks in it.

This... Although the original owner of my car paid the dealership a small fortune to rework the dashboard controls and install cup holders, I don’t use them. They only hold a typical take-out coffee cup or soda can, and then just barely.

Nice offer, Jimmy. Thank you. But I switched out my radio for a double din unit, too.

POST 13Original post

My solution to the cup holder "problem" was to make a insert for the console bin from a scrap of open cell foam. I keep the bin's lid propped open with a mini-bungie that connects the lid to the storage unit behind the seats. It works well and I use it almost every time I drive the car. You can see how I made it here (near the bottom of the page): https://rx19jones.wixsite.com/projectboxster/projectboxster4 cheers - dj
