I have a 2002 Boxster, and I hate very little about it.

But, I hate the cupholder unit (above the radio, how dumb is that?).

I'm wishing that I had a more updated radio - with Sirius, or at least
a jack for an mp3 player. GPS would be nice too...

Anyone have a setup like that in their dash? I'd like to see some
photos and ideas. I dont think I would miss the cupholders all that
much, and tearing them out for a GPS would be kinda cool.... just
looking for ideas at this point.

Try the Sirius Visor mounted under the dash on the left of the
steering wheel, antenna on the dash to the right of the LED. Be sure
to wire in line with the antenna (extra price but worth it in sound
quality). I'd send a pic but my girlfriend has the camera.

Try www.ultimatecupholders.com if you're looking for a "usable" cup
holder. Mine holds everything great.

Good luck.

Wow! That cupholder looks great! Simple, but jesus... nice to see
that some engineer, somewhere, gets it!

That certainly makes the ludicrous dash cupholders obsolete.... out
they come! Now lets see what I can get in there!

hi :)

At least you HAVE a cupholder! My Carrera 4 doesn't have one...not a
standard feature..

I bought two of the "ultimate" cupholders. Fantastic. I used to jam
bottles of water in the gap between the seat adjustment lever and the
console anyhow... so I can now put my coffee somewhere that it wont
have a chance of becoming destructo liquid for my electronics.

Now to delete the cupholders and find some way to get a GPS and a
Satellite in the gap.
