Adding Cupholders to a Factory 94–98 OBS Console (CD Changer Delete Upgrade)

One of the most common annoyances in late OBS trucks is the factory center console setup. GM designed the 1994–1998 consoles to house an optional CD changer, which leaves many trucks today with a useless storage insert instead of something actually practical.

This simple upgrade fixes that.

This replacement insert swaps directly into the factory console and converts the CD changer location into functional cupholders.

What It Does

  • Replaces the factory CD changer insert

  • Adds modern dual cupholders to the OEM console

  • Keeps a clean factory appearance

  • No cutting or modification required

Install
Remove the original CD changer tray/insert and drop this unit into place. It uses the same mounting location, making it a straightforward plug-and-play swap that takes only a few minutes.

Why It’s Worth Doing
OBS interiors were never great for drink storage. This upgrade makes daily driving noticeably better while still looking OEM-correct instead of aftermarket.
