Cell phone holder here, since I rarely open the passenger door, I don't keep stuff in that door panel, for the most part the car is... empty...

Damnit, no one told me about that one but I still can't seem to find it, maybe the owner before me took it out? How does it open?

Mine is a cell holder/change keeper even though its an automatic I still always have my hand on the shifter...I suppose I'm practicing for whenever I decide to get a 6 speed :-D...I always use the pull-out cup holder if I need to but usually I dont drink in my car. My backseat cup holders usually have my digi cam cause I hardly go anywhere without it, never know when it could come in handy..and sometimes my sunglasses when I forget to lock them into the visor sunglass clip...

The flip out one in the console is the best. It can hold the really big drinks from the fast food places. The one flaw is it relies on a small plastic tab to lock it into place. My tab broke, so I took the whole thing out and epoxied an aluminum pin where the tab used to be. I then filed the pin on one side to give it a little taper to make it easier to open, but left the other side at 90* so that once it locks open, it will not close. This keeps the big drinks firmly in place. I also had to file down the overall length of the pin to make it long enough to lock, but not stick down too far. To close it, I have to give the whole thing a slight twist and then it releases and can be folded back in.

I recommend doing this mod if your tab ever breaks. GM does not sell the cupholders by themselves. You would have to buy a whole upper console and used parts are likely to break.

Nevr use mine. Can't drink and shift at the same time. The one in the middle of the console get's in the way of my shifting anyway. My secret one feels too flimsy. I'm thinkig of puttig my ipod on one but the procar install kit is like 200 bucks and I think the RF ones blow.

I use the flip out one. The back ones are worthless and the other gets in the way with shifting especially with the Lou's short stick.
