You can pull up the ashtray, then remove two torx screws below the housing. That gets the switch cover out, which ought to give you enough space to find the rest of the money. If not, go here: http://www.bmracing.com/media/products/pdf/67.pdf And if you want your console painted to match the car, go here: http://www.BumperPlugs.com :jump: Eric, Thanks for the links and advice. I got the console out and I pulled out 75cents more. My mission is acomplished at least for now. That console paint suggestion is really a good idea. Thanks Mike, I should have done my homework first b4 bought plugs from dealer. I will order a set for the next time and I will get that none smoking console since i dont smoke. By the way the plug change took me about 5 hours! As i said earlier, should have done my homework first, I did not have the proper allen key wrench, I just had those L shaped keys. But you know what with all the coins I gained I'm going to buy me a good wrench! Thanks for your kind words and making me feel welcome.

Hi All, All you veteran porsche owners would probably know already but dont put any coins in your ashtray. I'm a newby porsche owner and whilst i've never put coins in my ashtray the previous owner may have. I checked there because I read a post at the pelican site about coins finding its way inside console. When i checked under ashtray i saw 4quarters already. I dont know how to remove console so i took a stick of gum and a long screwdriver and after about 30 min I ended up w/ 5 dollars and 42 cents? not bad for 30 min work? Need help if anybody can suggest easy way to take out console, I'm not satisfied i got all the coins out and a bad penny might get into places where they really should not be? I'm also going to tackle changing my sparks plugs this weekend ($18 each at the dealer!!) So any advice would help me lots. I also took out the throttle body and it was soaked in oil and air filter also dirty so I guess previous owner did not change it. But I am enjoying it. Ariel 2001 Boxster
