  Audi TT Storage Armrest® and Cupholder for  Coupe and Roadster

 BIRD Automotive invented the Storage Armrest at the beginning of the cellular phone era in 1985.  It is a very comfortable armrest for driver and passenger and provides convenient, attractive, and secure storage for phones, iPods, PDA's, and other valuables.  Most Armrests sold include the Cupholder Option. 

The Storage Armrest for the Audi TT Coupe and Roadster is shown in the picture below. It has a lockable lid and is hollow on the inside. The Armrest pivots up between the seats when not in use.  It is attached to the tunnel behind the handbrake as show in the picture on the right. The factory cupholders may be removed or retained.  If retained, the forward  cupholder is available for use when the Armrest is pivoted up between the seats.

  

Armrest installed in TT. Pivots up between the  seats when not in use.

Armrest in open position.  Cupholder in place.  Retracts when not in use.

Armrest attaches to sides of tunnel.  Height and slope to suit when installing.

The Storage Armrest is: 
Designed to blend into the car's interior with a factory original appearance.
Upholstered  in leather or occasionally vinyl to compliment the interior.  
Strong and secure. The Armrest frame and it's mounting brackets are made of steel. The hollow compartment  is securely lockable.  
Built to the highest standards. Digitally controlled production equipment and conscientious old-world craftsmen assure consistent quality.  Our objective is for each Armrest to last as long as the car in which it is installed.
Installable by owners who have at least average mechanical ability in about an hour.  The Armrest is attached to the sides of the tunnel behind the handbrake. The bracket legs are hidden from view by the seats. About half our customers install their own. Alternatively, Audi dealers and high-end mobile electronics retailers are fully qualified.
Warranted for four years against defects in material and workmanship and sold with a money-back satisfaction guarantee.

           Cupholder  Option

The Cupholder Option has a pair of adjustable stainless steel  fingers which surround the cup and hold it securely even in panic stops.  It accommodates containers ranging from a quart down to a can in size.  The Cupholder is attached inside the front of the compartment and when not in use folds up against the front of the compartment to save space. To use the Cupholder, open the lid all the way, almost 180 degrees, pivot the Cupholder up and adjust the fingers to fit the cup.  The bottom of the cup rests on the inside floor of the Armrest on a rubber pad  There is room for a second Cup behind the first: it is constrained on all four sides but not as securely as the first cup. The Armrest continues to provide some support when the Cupholder is in use.

          Color Matching and Selection     

At present we are offering the Storage Armrest for the Audi TT only in Ebony (black). Over the past 15+ years we have sold thousands of Armrests which perfectly match the factory original interior colors of Mercedes, Porsche and BMW cars.  Colors for newer car models including the TT are arriving daily, so please call for an update.  (203) 834-1119.
