Default Secret cupholder?



Here, you can see there is a button you have to press to slide it out. The reason I had not noticed this before is because the previous owner had been using the handle slot to store pennies and therefore I had just assumed it was a penny holder. It was not until I cleaned the pennies out that I discovered there was a button in the crevice.

in my 2001 RX, I just discovered that there was a whole other set of cupholders that slides out from the center console between the two front seats. Did anyone else not know about this until now or am I the only one?

No one would be able to sell any vehicles in US without a place for drinks. Larger the better and as 3 in the front are nice.

Incidentally the floating assist for the keys, may be ok for other keys, but RX keys are not water proof. So use the soft part for stress relief but Leuxs keys and water sports do not mix.

I’m just surprised they managed to fit four cupholders in the front end of the car, I believe there are also four in the back (seems like a lot for a 5 passenger SUV, no?)

And as for the keys, to be entirely honest the floater is mostly just for vanity (and stress relief) but now I know in the event that my keys did fall into the water the bouy would not exactly keep them safe from harm.
