Retrofit Rear Cup Holders

[Splash]

I may be missing something here, allowing drinks in the back? Next you'll be telling me you let foord in the car

Most effective Noise Reduction System I have found yet, unfortunately. Just glad the leather seats wipe clean easily....

These were standard on my C6 and I told my kids they were handcuffs (like putting them in the stocks) if they didn't behave; and that the drivers locking button would lock them tighter! Evil, I know.

I then told them that the C7 didn't need them as they had grown up, but they had sussed it by then when, I think, we may have had to use them for their real purpose on one occasion. C7 weight saving deletion - love it.

Ebay listing says the cup holder is not compatible with 2014 models, anybody know if this is right? Is the fitting the same on all C7 A6s?

Wasn't aware there was any change to the rear arm rest as a result of the facelift

I did this a few days ago. Ended up buying both parts from Audi Because I'm too impatient. even with the audi tools i still managed to damage a retaining clip on the blank fascia when removing it. But even if I did want to replace it, which I won't, it woukd still go back.

Was surprised just how tight a fit it was to slide the cup holder in but was essy enough.

Also thought the front cover would be spring loaded so it automatically returns to the down position after the cup holders have been pushed back in but hey ho!

Did this today - couldn't be simpler. Collected the parts from the dealer and fitted the parts all during my lunch break. Have a contact at a VW dealership so managed to order through him and pay staff rates. Must admit the force required to insert the cupholder was surprising, thought I'd missed it up to start with. Need to give it a good thwack once you've got it lined up. Also found it easier to remove the old fascia starting at the bottom and work across underneath, one the 3 lower clips where released, it just sprang off and meant no damage to plastic of the inner tray.

Did anyone find a source for the trim piece at a reasonable price?

[A6ian]

Approx £35 direct from Audi.

[shinycarot]

Yeah. That's what I thought. Just wondered if there was another source before I pay £35 for such a small piece of plastic.

Yes it's a direct replacement in the A7, I would make sure the Audi dealer is aware you need the trim suitable for the cup holder.

I ordered one using the part number earlier in the post but it was the origional blanking piece that turned up, he reordered and the correct trim arrived, but the part number for this second trim was as in the origional post. So as I didn't see the incorrect first trim part number I can't say if the dealer ordered the first trim incorrectly.
