Default "I need more Cow Bell"!!! Seriously, where's the storage? No where to put, phone, sunglasses, etc..

Are there any mods out there to increase storage in the cabin? It would be nice to have a place to set my mobile phone and sunglasses for easy access. A coin holder would be nice too. I've heard there is a replacement for the cigarette tray to create additional storage is this an Audi Part? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the arm rest tray is a joke. With the stupid cell phone cradle in there it makes it useless for the most part. Is there a way to cover this thing up? Any aftermarket solutions or would I need to make a custom tray insert?

Default I use the storage in the dash for coins...works great

...but I agree with you regarding sun glasses & cell phone. I guess you could add a cell phone carrier like those from ProClip. I've seen these in other cars and they look ok.

Default What on earth are you carrying with you?

Sunglasses go under the seat, cell charger under passenger seat, cell sits in my pocket (I have BT) or in cupholder, coins go in ash tray, extra SD cards go in cardholder, and pens and receipts go in center console. Sounds to me like you need an American SUV if that's not enough for you.

Default Don't put change in the ash tray or the credit card holder.

We have scores of folks here that have done that and ended up with change getting lost down in the console.

It's a b!tch to get out as it involves removing the climate control..etc.

It's just not worth it.

Bad idea. The upper part of that tray is not sealed.

Default I have some suggestions...

Coinholder: purchased old audi part back in 2000 for my b5(forgot which model it came from), fits well in armrest tray.

Sunglasses: holder that you can put in sunvisor from local auto accessories shop

phone: my last b6 had a dashboard cupholder which fits perfectly for cell phone. but since we don't have that any more on our b7, i use cigarette tray to hold my chocolate phone.
