Hi everyone. I'm wondering if there's an OEM part available to replace the obsolete cassette holder that is in my car right now. I would like to have somewhere to put my wallet and cell in while I'm driving so it doesn't bounce all over...



The car is a 2001 TT.

There is an open slot kind of part that you can get from the dealer - I replaced the CD holder with one on my 996TT. If I recall it was fairly cheap (in the Porsche scheme of things); the old piece popped out and the new compartment slid and snapped right into place. It's a 1 minute job.

Suncoast sells them. I just bought one for my new turbo. Check http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...de=996ttintacc

You can remove the CD holder by opening them all, grabbing them together, and giving it a brief tug. Will probably work for yours as well.

Good luck

My 996TT didn't have that center console, so I bought one from a Porsche Salvage yard ($50!) but I needed the batwing trim piece, which I got from Suncoast. Suncoast also sell the upper and lower trays, be sure you order the upper tray to replace the cassette holder. Fortunately mine came with the CD holder so that's still of somewhat limited use.

Yep, you can also hide the worthless DSP/hifi thing behind and move the heater controls in the same spot (or create more storage space).

One of my favorite minor mods. The tape holder will just pull out with a tug. I fit my cell and wallet in the cubby just perfect.

50$ from eBay. there are 2 cubbies an upper and a lower. they don't not interchange so get the correct one

Thank you guys. I'll see how much they sell this part at the dealership tomorrow.

I'll keep that one, it looks ok to me, even if I don't use it...

Would you have the part number by any chance ?
Edit : Forget it, I just found it on Pelican : 996-552-253-01-01C

I wanted to do the same mod on mine. I got the urge last week, but got too cheap to spend the $50+ for a cheap plastic bin, LOL
I was waiting to find a used one on e-bay for cheap, or on the forums.
If I don't find one for cheap in the next few weeks, I'll probably break down and just buy one. It's not that big of a deal, it's just the point. It bothers me knowing that not too long ago the bins were a little over $30, and now they are over $50, closer to $60 shipped.

It's the best mod I've done for my car - all the crap you use daily fits in and is an easy reach.

My 996 Turbo came from the factory with a cubby holder on the bottom of the stack:

I had this mod done years ago. Now go the next logical step and add Bluettoth connectivity to your CR-220 radio:

I did it, and now I enjoy wireless Pandora, internet radio, etc. Kinivio controller fits perfectly in cubby, hidden from view.
You put your i-Phone in there, good to go.

32krazy!

the cars that come with the double din units have the heater controls on the bottom cubby on top
