C5 allroad cup holders, front and rear

[shenandoah]

Does anyone know if the in dash cup holder is the same cup holder as the ones that are in the rear bench seat? The cupholders that I'm finding specifically for the rear seats seem to be considerably more expensive that what I can get an in dash cup holder for.

Thanks.

Wondering the same.

Not exactly the same, but interchangeable for the most part. The REAR cupholders are actually a little better in a way as they have a metal bracket/ brace as part of the frame, where the front ones have plastic (for crash-safety standards I'd assume). But the rear cupholders do not have backlighting or the little cup printed on.
You can swap them and the parts around though, I've done it.

Yeah but if it doesn't have the cup printed on it...

...I mean c'mon now what're you even doing?
