center counsel (lesson: don't let people touch your things)

[ALWAYS4UDI]

is anyone knowledgeable with the replacement of the cup or card holder above the stereo in our cars? my cup holder won't stay in, and i heard it's expensive to swap out, but that's it. has anyone had to do replace one of them???

my friend just about reserved a spot on the side of the road for himself since he thought that he JUST HAD to play with it excessively.

Dude, that thing is a big POS. I looked at replacing it myself since Audi wanted to charge some BS amount. It is involved, but there is a detailed DIY with pics that someone did on here or the other site. Check the A4 forums as well since it is the same design. Since I have done a few things on my car, I think I may go back and tackle this as mine is partially broken. Good luck.

Was the counsel thing a play on words or did you mean console?

Really a simple item to replace, no big deal.
I don't think you can fix these things.

I hate the excessive touching! On my car that is. Friend should chip in for replacement.

Let me guess, It went like this,
You : "Why do have to touch things"
Friend : "You mean like this....like this...like this...like this...like this....BREAK

haha whoops. misspell

Sounds like my freaking roommate. When I bought my S4 he was giddy with all the buttons and cool little features. Now the console thing between the two seats (doubles as arm rest) has a broken top. It rests on top but the levers inside that let it open are both broken off. =[. He almost died. Except he is bigger than me... and I owe him cash haha

^^^amen.

S4for5, thanks for the link, now i just have to order a new one through audi. haha

i am the only person whose blood boils when passengers constantly adjust their seat??? (i'm talking non-stop moving of the seat controls)

you can buy the cup holder shit from ebay and then DIY.
clicky! it's worth a try, or you can kill your friend if you get pissed off good enough muhahaha

I have the same situation with my cup holder being broken. But mine comes form my wife and her mega super cup of coffee and trying to jam the cup in the holder. Well the cup whent in and the front piece flew off.....needless to say no more coffee or food in the car.. I just ordered mine from the dealership 58$ so the E bay one looks good to me but too late. I am thinking of installing mine this week if I can get to it. If I do I will post up how it whent.

What kind of play on words would that be?

Me too.

[drewaudis4]

Me too.

Glad I am not the only one =D

Lol.......but there's no problem there.

I meant these are the same type of people who keep playing with my flip key. I seriously gotta keep it in my pocket or hidden when other people are around.

And don't forget about the back seat passengers who constantly have to keep pressing the button with the red light on the center console without even bothering to ask what it's for.....

I was trying to be polite :)
