Retrofit Rear Cup Holders

On the C7 Audi A6, you don't get drinks holders in the rear as standard. Quite how Audi can excuse this I don't know, but for whatever reason they put it on the options list :confused:.

On the pre-facelift cars, the "Storage package" cost just over £100. On the facelift cars, Audi have now made it only available as the "Convenience Package" which costs over £800 :mad:.

To retrofit, you need two parts. The drinks holder cassette, and a piece of trim.

• 8P0885995B 6PS - Drinks Holder (Soul Black)
• 4G8863289A 4PK - Cover Panel (Soul Black)

Fitting is very easy. Open up the rear arm rest and remove the blanking trim panel, make sure to use plastic trim removal spatula tools to ensure you don't damage anything. Then insert the drinks holder cassette, and finish off by fitting the new trim cover panel.

Credit goes to a German forum post where I found the instructions from :).

How much were the bits?

I wonder if it's available for the C6....will have a search :)

The cupholder is available on E Bay for £17.50.
I've had no joy finding the cover plate yet.

Any one know if it's the same for the A7

As @Tripletroube said, the cup holder cassette can be bought on eBay for a lot cheaper than from Audi.

The trim panel is only available from Audi however. Any dealer can order in the part. I used www.audipartsdirect.co.uk. If you email them a helpful chap called Tom will reply. Parts prices always fluctuate, but expect to pay about £35 for it. Yes that's a complete rip off for just a piece of plastic, but there isn't really any alternative!

Here is the parts diagram for a FL C6 which shows the required parts AUDI A6/AVANT [A6] (EUROPE) 2010: BODY: 88560. BACKREST; BACKREST COVERS; MIDDLE ARMREST; HEAD RESTAINTS; INDIVIDUAL PARTS; FOR VEHICLES WITH CHILD SEAT

Looks easy enough
Gonna order the bits and give it a go.
Cheers for the info.

They are but did you notice that the items in China.

If there's a few of us interested, does someone have a good relationship with their local dealer and perhaps could do a group buy of the trim piece and save a few £££s?
