I purchase one one the single cup holders and screwed it into the passenger side just below my console.

Done a 7,000kms trip to run the new setup in and didn't spill a drop of any of my coffees. so far it hasn't hindered any passengers and it has worked very well.

I don't have a solution for passengers though as I feel their hands are free, they can hold their coffee.

I would imagine Joel is still selling them, maybe just post on his thread or shoot him a PM.

That is actually a single din unit so it will fit below another single din entertainment unit.

Hmmm, I'm gonna see how the one I bought off ebay works first. From the sounds of it, the door mounted cup holder seems very secure, I could give that a go as well.

Wonder if the user is still selling them...

Also, Nik, does that double din fit in the car? I have a headunit above so thought I could only fit a single din just below it. Thanks for the help.

My car had one like this in it when I bought it that works reasonably well, but you want to make sure it is mounted below the entertainment unit so that if anything spills on a bump it then doesn't run down into the unit.

I am now using the storage pocket mounted one and find it much better though.

I have used my door cup holder for the past year with no problems. My leg does touch the drink but it would be quite hard to actually spill it

Thanks for the info. I just bought one, hope it works well.

It just slips between the passenger seat & the centre armrest area. I've had mine for about 3 years & can't find the seller, but there are a heap selling them now. Plus there is another one that is slightly different, but probably works the same.

This one looks the same as mine

This one a little different.

just search for cup holder on ebay & there are lots of sellers.

Hi Shaz,

That looks interesting, I'm assuming you hook this in the centre by the passenger side? Would you have a link of the item on ebay or a phrase I would search?

Thanks for the help!

PS. I was thinking of something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-BLACK-ADJUSTABLE-FOLDING-DRINK-HOLDERS-Marine-Boat-Caravan-Car-4x4-RV-Cup-B-/191496413247?hash=item2c9613603f:g:AE0AAOSwZtJW8ife since it can be folded when not in use. Not sure if this is mountable on MR2 though.

I have one of these, there are a few suppliers on EBay. works well unless you have a passenger. Easily stores behind the seat when not in use. I have one of the others that you mentioned, but I am short & sit too far forward, but my passenger this weekend made good use of it on her side.

Hi, Just wondering what options I have in terms of getting some cup holders on my MR2 SW20? I know someone on the forum was selling the ones that hang from the storage area on the door but I'm worried they might get in the way and I'll spill my drink! I was thinking along the lines of a single din cup holder I can install just below the head unit. Anyone have any tips?

Thanks!
