How do you mount the Taurus cup (can) holder?

[SlowPro48]

...Are you guys using the old CD player brackets or something? ...

Yup. That's what I did anyway. You might have to chop a little off the back of the coin holder tray in order to enable the whole assembly to be recessed far enough that you can use the existing mounting points though. Use a hacksaw or some other fine tooth saw and cut just the tips off those triangular extensions. Don't cut too much though or you'll remove the part that retains the tray when it extends. You don't want it shooting out into the cabin when you hit the button! Just look at the little tracks on the sides before you cut. Check my pics and you'll see what I'm talking about.

If you check my pics though please don't give me any crap about my miserable excuse of a gallery. If I had a "VX life" I'd have some entertaining pics in there - but I don't - so I don't. I just drive the thing to work and back - and so far haven't been able to talk any half-naked women into writhing around on the bonnet - so I just live vicariously through you guys, especially Mr. Off Road Whoremonger.

Hmmm, perhaps MARLIN will see this thread and chime in as I know he installed one as well. I believe MARLIN used the old existing CD brackets for the install, too.

So what does a guy do when his VX didn't have the factory cd player or hardware when he got it? Anybody have a spare bracket laying around they're willing to part with? Pretty please...

You may be able to get the parts you need from the install department at Best Buy. Sorry I can't offer you mine but the CD changer is still mounted (though not used).

Try member "VX KAT". If I recall, she was just getting rid of her OEM Head Unit & OEM CD Player. So, she still might have old CD Bracket that your need. Give her a shout by PM.

Will do. Thanks guys!

I just sold both units to JoFotoz and recall packing two L-shaped brackets....are those the ones? Maybe Jo can spare them since the dead CD player was just a back up unit I think.
