Title: Cuddy Tray with Lid for a MK5 GTI
Post by: Brian150 on January 07, 2011, 04:08:27 pm

Does any one know a part number for a tray with a lid that is about the centre vents on the dash of a MK5 Golf. I want to change the tray I have to one with the push button lid. The tray i have is the standard one that is open (if you know what i mean.)
I know you can get one for a POLO but can't seem to find one for a Golf or does any one know if another model one will fit a MK5 Golf

I assume you dont have a GTI with the Climate unit?  As on the GTI that area is either the open cubby hole or a indirect air vent.  So im not hopeful you will find one. I might be wrong but I have never seen one.

Good Idea...
Want to keep an ipod hidden and was hoping to have a lid like the one on the Polo. Just Going to run the lead back to the armrest now and keep it in there. The ipod connector i have is a VW one for the ipod.
My armrest doesn't have the dock for the ipod and dont seen the point of buying one. Unless someone wants to swap.

Brian, if you have the armrest with the pocket for cooling you will have several bit of plastic at the front where the cooling vent comes through, why not adapt this and have the wire poking through into the bottom of that.

Ya thats the road i'll go down.. Going ot drill a hole and put a rubber grommet in and have the cable coming out threw that..
Taught the lid on the centre tray on the dash would be nice. My friend that gave me the ipod connector had it done that way on his Skoda..
