Cupholders

Not worth the effort. - No cupholders means no drinking in the car, which means no more spills over the interior.
 
R171 cup holders pop out from where the trim panel is directly below the centre face-level vents on the dash. They were brilliant for keeping water cold in hot weather, as the air-con blasted anything stood in them with cold air :thumb:

Ours just has an empty box there:(
Even on ebay they list from £105 upwards - I don't need one that much
 
I couldn't believe it when i read the options list that came with my 3 year old A45, i laughed when i saw 'cupholders' and then found it was a genuine 'option'.
 
Obviously you will only need cup holders for any passengers.
Dinking whilst driving is apparently even more distracting than the half dozen LCD displays peppering the windscreen inside most police cars....

Ahh... But the LCD displays and two-way communication on the radio isn't a distraction "if you've been properly trained" ;)

Really? So as the male of the species we can actually be trained to do two things at once....no, surely not.
That must be only for female officers....

This hole is now so deep, I can't actually see out of it....:rolleyes::p
 
Mine has it? Was it an option or something.. have you looked at the section between the glovebox and the stereo, there should be a little indent you push in and the cup holder slides out

I think they were standard on US spec R171, but on a forum there, lot of people did not use/took them out due to high likelihood of spills all over the audio kit :(
 
buy the official MB coat hanger . blue-peter style it with a pair of pliers and voila a cup holder, with holding hook. :-)
 
Drink bottled drinks doesn’t help for coffee really. Maybe Iced coffee :p
 
Always need a cup holder lol
