[QUOTE="DR78, post: 717242, member: 21035"] Just want to share my version of how to replace the cup holder the correct way. Firstly let the cupholder be in open position. Push it back in a little and u will notice 2 screws there which u need to remove. But wait. At the half open position try to find a way and fit ur little fingers into the cupholder to reach to the back of the asc module and just pop it out from both end. Unplug the ASC module. Now u got good access. Remove that 2 screw u saw earlier. From the space above the cupholder where the asc thingy was, push the upper part of cupholder downwards (inside the console) with 1 hand while pulling the holder it outwards (the outside part) with the other hand. The upper part of the cupholder (the inside part) always gets hooked to the centre metal surround so by doing so u wont break anything. [/QUOTE]
