    Lower CD player modification

    The lower CD player on mine is never used and not hooked up. Any suggestions for something else that would fill that space if I took the CD player out? Has anyone ever tried some sort of pull out cup holder?

    Cup holder/coin holder combo from a Ford Taurus will work...it has limited use due to the holder portion not coming out very far...it will hold a can, but not a bottle of soda or your favorite beverage.

    Use the search function to find some info....

    Is that because the pull-out hits the shifter?

    Yes and the angle of the dash is steep for anything taller as well...

    I had one but took it out and put a cubby there...holds my and the beautiful brides sunglasses nicely...

    A oem option... The component cubbie in a 98-02 (I Think) Rodeo is a direct replacement.

    A cup holder would be nice, but I thought with the shifter placement it wouldn't be much use. I will look into getting the cubbie insert from the Rodeo. Thanks!

    I've got a duel cup holder in there, it works and the shifter really doesn't get in the way. (not like it's a manual transmission or anything)

    I'll post a pic but it's probably the same one everyone else has from the Taurus.

    I think the inverter is the more useful item to fit in there. I have a 700 watt and it fits perfect.
