Installation Instructions

1. Remove the Existing Storage Bucket

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the factory storage bucket.

2. Disconnect the 12V Socket

From inside the panel, push the 12V socket out of its mounting and disconnect the wiring harness.

3. Extend the Wiring Harness

Feed the wiring harness back through the opening and connect the supplied harness extension.

4. Install the 12v Socket into the Cup Holder

The 12v Socket installs as a push fit. 



5. Apply the Foam Strip (If Required)

If your vehicle has a plastic or carbon fibre shifter tunnel without a carpet or leather covering, apply the supplied foam strip to the underside of the bottom cup holder.

6. Tab Alignment check

Check the alignment between the screw tab and the bracket. If misalligned, move the tab to ensure the hole in the tab doesnt overlap the slot in thebracket. 


7. Install the Cup Holder

Move the seat fully forward to improve access, then lower the cup holder into position from above and connect the 12v wiring to the socket.


Press the cup holder into place over the interior panel so that it sits in the same position as the OEM storage bucket.

The cup holder is correctly positioned when the lower section sits flush against the shifter tunnel.

8. Secure the Cup Holder

Install the supplied mounting screw and tighten it while applying slight downward pressure to the cup holder assembly. This will ensure the cup holder is fully seated and correctly secured.

9. Install the Cup Holder Inserts

Remove the adhesive backing from the supplied insert(s) and place them into the cup holder recesses.
