Review on Cooper Armrest Console Storage Ashtray by Mark Cole

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The install guide is pretty much useless and if you don't have the tools you shouldn't get this awesome thing

. If you don't have a drill and screwdriver, you won't like this. But the rest looks good. It comes with non-slip pads to keep the console in the existing cup holder, but with the torque required to open the console, those pads aren't enough. Instead I screwed a couple of screws through a hole in the console on the very outside. And my MINI is so tight that I had to assemble the block before inserting it into the cup holder, very different from the instructions. It looks like I'll have to plug the cable from my existing USB drive into the black USB port on the front of the console to power the other 6 ports. If so, that's pretty useful, although the console ports on the front are very hard to see when you're in the front seat (especially when you're driving). Overall it's pretty decent for the price.
