hi guys i looked in the xfire manual that comes with the car.
i can't seem to find the cup holder is it that its a right hand drive & it doesn't come with it or its the u.s.a/ca that has it.

also please explain to me whats XM radio ? i see a lot of people talking about it but i have no idea what is it please someone teach me something new today.

p.s i looked in the compartment & cant find no cup holder ?
AHHH.

 

XM Radio is commercial free radio that's capture via satellite.
You need a special antenna and radio, ...and....you need to subscribe. Monthly fee.
Also Sirius radio is the competitor.
I believe the service is only in the USA. (at least for now)

 

Thanks flying buy the way do u know where the cup holder is

 

Tony,

The excuse for a cup holder can be found by pressing down on the rectangular panel between the gear stick and the storage bin, next to the handbrake.

Don't use paper cups as the prongs will poke holes in the cup and you will have coffee in your console.

 

thanks i'll check if its there i am not 100%.

 

I think that I have read in previous posts in this forum that the English version doesn't have the cup holder in it.

 

oh any english xfire drivers please let me know is there a CUP holder as my car is parked underground & a good distance away from me it will take me 10 mins to get to the car id rather read it here then ran as fast as i can to my DARLING xfire.

 

I was looking at a standard Xfire roadster at the dealers and it did not have a cup holder, just a rectanguler hole in the console. My Limited however, does have the cup holder or you might say, what they call a cup holder.

 

Well i am sad now there is no cup holder i had a good good look pressed all over the place no cup holder sad allong with the antenna is crummy also 2 down falls thats it.

 

p.s mine isn't the standard as in england there is no option to standard ect.

 

Trust me you're not missing much. The cup holder is next to useless. Don't feel so sad about it.

 

thanks. p.s i am looking for a chip would superchip he the best 1 out there for my xfire.

 

Tony, get Simon for Upsolute. www.ccctech.co.uk. He will come to you and install the chip. It will give you 20 more ponies and 15 more ft/lb of torque. Guy does good work and lives down south. He travel up to scotland to do my car. I highly reccommend him.

Superchip will not do a xf. I even e-mail stating that it is the same ecu as the slk320 but, they refused.

 

I have the cupholder in my July 2004 sourced car. It's total crap. Have tried to rip it out, and can't even manage that.

 

Roadsters don't have a cup holder.

 

Believe me you are not missig much not having the cup holder.

 

i can't belive they don't have a cup holder in the roadster. i wonder why they would do that. what makes the roadster different from the coupe that they wouldn't put one in? the only thing i don't like about the cupholder is that it is right in the way of the shifter. do a search on this site for a cupholder mod, some people had made their own that work much better they say. good luck hope u love the car.

 

My Roadster does.


Gee, I guess I AM short. Look how far up I have the seat!

 

Me R. Roberts thanks for your info as i am badly seriously big time interested in that chip as you had it installed & simon went up to u in scotland but there is a problem i tried the web site u give me i see contacts & put in all my info but when i click send a message comes up saying CANT DO IT FROM HERE ? WOULD YOU HAVE A MOBILE NUMBER OR THE DIRECT EMAIL NUMBER FOR SIMON PLEAS HELP ME Mr. Roberts i badly appreciate it lol cant spell that can i lol.
a.s.a.p.

 

Tony,

I believe the cup holder was removed on the UK versions as it was designed for the LHD market. Mine is a real pain as it has a tendency to take chunks out of my forearm; so if you don't have one you're not missing much.
