hipposniper · **Reply #2: September 21, 2009, 00:09:19**

mmmmm, if they do (if we find somewhere that does ) are the hole the same fit/size? knowing my luck i go to all that trobble carefully getting the dame thing out, only to find tha cobby hole is the wrong size or is to deep, then can get the panel back in

I'm afraid so, i was so mad as i thought all I30's came with it, one of the reason's i went for the car, saw one it the showroom on a cw and hatch and love it... "great place to put sweetie for the kids, a place for the satnav" WHAT a disappointment it wasn't there. Still love the car, each to their own, some people hates it because of noise but i liked it

I seen a tread where some one removed this ( the cobbie-hole) to get it the radio and i thought i could reinstall one

All new UK cars are czech built without this compartment. I'm in two minds to fit it, but some have said it rattles.

Anyway, maybe next time someone removes their radio on a car equipped with the top storage compartment they could look at the partnumber sticker and lets us know the part. I rekon we could order them then.

The only thing that rattles in mine is the endless pile of junk the Mrs throws in it !
The compartment and lid itself, nothing!

This is the bit we need to know the part number for:

If this can wait about 5 hours I'll get my surgical uniform on and see what Fergie has to say, along with pics

Well I obviously used Microsoft minutes

Unfortunately the last pic isn't too clear and I've already screwed the whole thing back in

Click pics for expanded view

I'm sure the number says 84770-2L900

(pics are with a moby so sorry for the lack of quality)

As 2i30s question.

Picture please as this would help visualise cover

hipposniper · **Reply #15: September 21, 2009, 18:29:16**

This is the cover in question

Lorian · **Reply #16: September 21, 2009, 18:39:35**

Hmm. I wonder how it comes out. no prying with a screwdriver, that's going to mess up the dash.

Shambles - thanks, I'll see if its available on the parts database next time I visit the dealer to see it the card has materialised.

Shambles · **Reply #17: September 21, 2009, 18:58:44**

That does look tight. If Hy (Czech) have used a cover with 4 or 6 grabbing points then that cover will not come out easily. I wonder how the service depts would cope with a radio warranty issue, as there are three fascia/cage mounting screws under that cover that would need to be accessed.

Lorian why not ask them if they have been given instructions for removing the cover. I'll bet it's not on the HMA website but I'll have a ganders later.

I think elantra has it so I don't think it will be on there. I'm pretty sure my dealer won't know, they are new (I have ony seen 2 i30's in my home town so far, and one of those was today!)

Lakes · **Reply #19: September 21, 2009, 20:51:38**

Well if you have not got it you want it.
over here we have all got the storrage thingy, but if i remeber right we all wanted to replace it with a GPS. so just swap a GPS for a i30 with some big hearted Aussie and we will send you the storrage thingy over

sorry your cars don't come with them, i use mine to store the E Tag.

2i30s · **Reply #20: September 21, 2009, 23:07:34**

it looks as tho it can be just put in,if you can get that cover off.

it may just clip on because an i30 with the lid has screws inside it you need to remove to get the radio fascia off look in non model specific under spray painting the dash.it show it there.

no,in TZWIENTJUH,S post about paiting your dash.

Not been in to the dealers, think they are not my firend because I keep bugging them about delivery. anyway, from a russian i30 site I have found this is Mobis (hyundai OEM spare parts) part number MB1017

See about half way down:

http://www.koravto.com/catalog/car_accessories...

I wouldn't actually try an order it from there though, unless you are Russian....

They originate direct from korea though.

Edit - actually there are some other really interesting accessories on that page I haven't seen elsewhere....
