Hidden cup holder in the Volkswagen Tiguan MK2

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, you can see how a very useful cup holder is hidden in the dashboard of the Volkswagen Tiguan, in a completely unsuspected place. On the left side of the steering wheel, there is the light switch knob, which can be easily removed for maintenance. If you also remove the plastic that forms the casing of the light switch and serves as support for the piece (it is only clipped in and removing it is very simple), you will find that the hole for the light switch is exactly the size of paper cups and that due to its shape, it can hold the cup upright to prevent it from falling.
