I own a 1994 Nissan Maxima and I was wondering if anybody has any good ideas with installing a cupholder, Now I have space underneath the radio deck, If anybody has installed a cup holder there, then could you please tell me who's cup holder you used

 

I cant remember but I think a volvo or some other cup holder is commonly used.

Search on here and you should find what youre looking for.

 

Search!
and it was either Saab or Taurus

 

on maximas there was an option that came on some of the maximae were cup holders undernieth the radio instead of the sroage compartment. I just got one for my max, I guess they are prety hard to find. I got mine from my buddy and he still has one left. Anyone interested email me at plmj@attbi.com with an offer.

 

If you want to keep your car stock, you could get the factory cup holder. However, it's possibly the most poorly designed cup holder ever made on Earth or anywhere else in the Universe. You'd be better off steering with your knees and holding your cup in your hand. I recently ordered a cupholder from a Saab dealership which fits in the standard DIN slot under the radio. It was from the previous generation Saab (like 1996-1999?) It's light years better. Do a SEARCH for 'cupholder' and you can see a picture of what I'm talking about.

 

Here's a good cupholder on Ebay. A little expensive for my tastes, but, this is just to show you the Saab cupholders.

ummm you quoted me and said SEARCH...I hope that was just a honest mistake since I told the guy posting to search.

 

I quoted you for the volvo part and to him I said
Search!

 

I was just messing with ya...thats why I put the there.

It is a Saab 9000 cupholder and it works great! it was about $35 on eBay. Here are some pics of it installed in my '93 Max:

 

Does anyone know how you go about removing the stock cupholder and installing the SAAB one?? does it "pop out" or do u have to remove the dash around it? i have no clue --->

thanks for the help

 

The Taurus cup holder is also a single din...just an FYI

 

same as installing a HU check stickies for more info.

 

azeus, that saab holder looks great, that would solve many problems for me, like whenever i leave mickey d's and my coke goes all over myself or my mats and starts to stink.

 

the saab cupholder is the only part of a saab that looks good

 

well damn, i wish i'd thought of that before i had gotten my Double DIN pioneer HU.

Saab 9000 900 cupholder coinholder

 

I was reading on Craigs website and found the link to install a new HU which also tells you how to remove the dash. ==>http://www.geocities.com/bracecraig/maxima/stereo.html

Where do u go after step number 4 to take off the cupholder? is there a way to seperate the cupholder unit from the stereo...??

 

Yeah undo the bottom two screws on the bracket instead of the top 2

 

yes, they are both separate, there are two brackets on either sides, just make sure you dont ruin the srews, all you need to do is take out the whole hu/cupholder from the dash with the four screws then once that is out, disconnect the wire harness and the whole thing pops out, youll see how easy it is to remove when youve got them out in one piece,
