Default Did you ever notice this?!

I figure if some people take a year to find the 'hidden' cupholder on the right side of the console, maybe they haven't noticed this either...

On my Firebird's stock stereo, the main buttons are listed 1, 2, 3, 4, etc...and under each number there's a command for the CD player, like forward/reverse etc.

DID YOU KNOW...that...at night when you have your headlights/interior lights on, and switch between CD player and the radio, only the numbers light up (if you're listening to the radio) or, only the text lights up (if you're listening to a CD).

????????????

always thought it was a neat detail, truly is the little stuff that makes you wonder why they missed out on some other stuff....

Did you ever find the cupholder in the very back when you open the hatch. You open the little door and it's right there. I use it all the time.

I didnt find the cupholder for a while and because of that, I never think to even use it. Pontiac always puts a bit more show or what the dealer called it "bells and whistles" in their vehicles.

Yep the Firebirds have 5 cupholders and the camaro has one...at least on the LT1's (what my b/f has). When I saw that I was like sheesh....that's bad But of course the firebirds are superior
