9N Card holder in dash

S.A. Stu · Post by **S.A. Stu** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 12:31 pm

I wanna put this card holder into the dash:

the 2 slit thing.

I have a Blank cover on that peice of dash. Anyone know how to go about removing the blank peice and fitting the card holder??

thanks from South africa!

It would be possible - just need to buy that card part from VW dealer parts, pop out the blank and replace with this

I have no experience with this new Polo dash, so it could be that you need to remove the whole plastic cover in middle first (complete section with vents in) to take it off or just will pop out when prised from a side using a plastic tool (so not to damage dash)

Hope this helps

The part number is 6Q2 858 373 1QB (tray for credit card black)

i'd take the headunit out and push it from behind, just a thought.

I believe it is easier to take the CD changer and h/u out to get to the back of the black bit then you can pop it out.

Old post so you may have already done this.

I could remove the blank with my fingernails (cheap tool)

I wondered .... could another cup-holder be fitted in there ?

I like to keep my fingernails short and am not sure they will take the strain really if I tried to use them to remove it, most likely clipped in tight to stay in place...

anyway, yes you could, fit the part meant for a LHD car to that side

I hope your not insinuating anything else i might scratch you eyes out

Of course it would have to be one from a LHD wouldn't it , I never thought of that , I wonder if there available ,
OR
would it hit the control stalk ?

You can order the LHD part thru your dealer without any probs that I can see. I think it should clear the steering wheel area and stalk still??

Under Guides/Mods theres an entry re Cubby Box mod by a member 'Mole' who doesn't seem to post now, ,

as an aside he talks about fitting a second cup-holder ,
but my anti virus protection stuff will not let me view his photos so I am not sure what he is saying ,

is it possible or not ?

Has any one done it ??

I still want to see how the drinks holders work on the 9N / 9N3 because they're sideways?

First time you use one it will scare the crap out of you!

I've been wondering what type of cards your supposed to put in this card holder?

If I had one in mine, the Shell points card and the work carpark pass would be my choices

Tom, next time i see you remind me and i'll let you play with my cup holder.

And you wouldn't be able to put a second cup holder in as it would hit the indicator stalk.
