thats funny you should say that, I had the same rattle but dismissed it as my ashtray is full of change. I'll take it out and check it tonight on the drive home.

I heard a rattle too, but it was my cell phone bouncing around in the cup holder.

If your cell phone is in a case with a belt clip, it hangs nicely on that useless coin holder on the dash!

Useless coin holder is where my 4x4 switch is I think.

Too bad. It would be nice place to mount PDA or iPod.

I've noticed that if I push the ashtray in a bit it stops or if I just open it and leave it open there is no rattle

could it be the CD-changer?

I have a rattle too. Not every bump causes it though and it started after about 1500 miles. That's also the same time that I added CD's to the 6-disc indash changer.

Maybe a correlation between rattle and changer with CD's in it?
