Does anyone have any suggestions how to remove the coin holder? I want to mount my ipod on that space. Any ideas?

 

I think someone wrote that up, do a search on "coin holder" in the 2004-2006 forum.

 

Probably easiest to access the back of the coin holder by removing the radio. Once you can get to the back of the coin holder, you will feel a tab which you depress and the coin holder comes out with no resistance.

 

Pull.

No, seriously. You mean the little coin holder opposite of the 12V right? Where some have the electronic 4x4 switch? If that's what you're talking about just yank on it and it comes right out.

 

I know a lot of guys have done the "yank" to get it out, some have also broken the clip on the back.

Plastic and kamikaze don't usually mix.

 

thanks for the suggestions. I think i am going to try and access it via radio removal.

 

What's the difference between pulling out the one or two clips that hold the coin holder or pulling out the 8 or so clips that hold the radio bezel in? If I was to break any of the clips I'd rather break the coin holder clip then the radio bezel clips.
Just sayin'.

 

My coinholder, I yanked it out--nothing broke. I ground it flat, built it out with bondo like a hockey puck, painted it with bed liner, and screwed a snowplow controller to it.

 

My coin holder pops in and out very easy.

Too valuable a chunk of dashboard real-estate to waste on a non functional coin holder.

12-pack of beer and a pry-bar

 

OK, just get under the dash and drive it out with two pound hammer.


On a more or less serious vein, when I was in retail autoparts I used to tell people that I made more money on beer than any liquor store or bar, but never sold a drop.

Seems about half the parts sold on some weekends were to guys who screwed something up after 'just a beer or two'.

I often felt I should write Coors a letter of appreciation and thanks.

I was going through this thread and decided to pull the coin holder so I could mount my cell phone. When I pulled it out, to my surprise, there was a wire harness connected to the back with 4 wires and a connector.

Any ideas what the wiring is for?

 

Mine just pulls out rather easily too and there is a wire conencted.. My guess is that the wire is for electronic 4x4... I have manual 4x4 so I think they just stick the plug to a dummy plug on back of coin holder... I am assuming that that is what its for since thats where the electronic 4x4 goes if you have that option..

 

Just pull; I've done it 10 times. Havent broke it yet.
