Ok, my curiosity has surpassed my fear of ridicule.... this came with my Cali, no Idea what / how to use it.

It's a good sign that you have no idea. Hope for the future ;-)

Mouse trap. Little buggers get everywhere creating havoc and this is VW's response.

I use it to store the keys for the bike rack. Don't tell anyone though. Shhhh...

Least useful thing in a Cali. i think mine is stuffed in the door bin and completely inaccessible when driving.

Thanks @Mike_and_Nikki having collected my Beach this week I was puzzled by it too.

I dunno, the cup holder that doesnt fit anything is pretty high up there.

Fits my Yeti insulated cup a treat.

MCDonalds Movie Cups fit perfectly in the cup holder (and stack nicely)

They can be picked up on auction sites etc.

You should also have got one rubbish bin (similar looking but larger) with the van (see the brochure under 'Cockpit' page 7 or thereabouts). These are sometimes missing and sometimes appear on eBay (coincidence is not correlation as is commonly said these days):

Mine was missing and I ended up buying two (works better with the two of us) off eBay. I got away with around £15 each, though it took a while.

Did you get a VW torch for the 12v socket ?

Those have a habit of turning up on eBay too, I bought a second one that way last year. You can't change the battery so they have a shelf life (if you look to buy watch out for its age); they came with the early Phaetons, in grey, that 2006 one of mine died after 4 years.

Fits my Yeti insulated cup a treat.

These are perfect fit and great for longer journeys (a pint of coffee/tea), the upper section is proud of the dash, but that makes them easy to handle when driving:

YETI® Rambler 475 ml Pint Cup

Like our entire family of Rambler Drinkware, this medium-sized cup and lid are dishwasher safe and easy to clean. Keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot.

They charge by plugging into the 12v cigarette lighter socket !

Thats the one. Mine is mint green which contrasts nicely with the flat grey

Fits nicely in the centre cup holder & acts as a depository for all the accumulated loose change.
I've never managed to get a full cup out of that holder without tipping half the contents on the floor.

These are great things. Spring clip valve you can open with trigger finger while driving: https://www.camelbak.co.uk/products...steel-travel-mug-350ml?variant=46012124823854

Interesting. I like the fact they are spill proof when closed which the Yeti isn't. Does it fit in the dash cup holders?
