You can always give your older ones to whomever needs them and likes them better.

BTW, do you just pop the other ones out (they fall into the abyss of the console)? Or do you take the whole cupholder out and remove the old tabs and put new ones in?

Just pop them out buy working them side to side and yank, keep a grip on them so they don't fall into the abyss. New ones just pop right in.

Last November, I took my X in to the dealer to have ONE tab replaced... they ended up replacing the WHOLE cupholder assembly. Told me the individual part was not available! So long as they footed the bill (factory waranty) I didn't care.

I just bought a set of 6 and my buddy replaced them all for me. Hopefully these will last longer.

Not sure if there is an article with the removal instructions, but I can tell you the aux cable is long enough as I had mine in there at first. I didn't even remove the console, just sneaked the cable through with the shifter bezel pulled up and the e-brake leather trim pulled up. I pulled the console bin up and out to drill the hole, then put the bin back in and put it together easily.

Dude I'm glad my tab came out. I put the DICE unit through the base of the hand brake and routed my ipod cable into the cup holders, which is perfect because I can put my iphone there, have full control, and hide it if I want to with that sliding door. Easiest mod ever, and probably the most functional.

As long as you don't need the front cupholders, then yeah, that is a trick location.
