Modern convenience. Real safety. Built for classic Volkswagens.

Bring modern usability and real-world safety into your vintage VW—without ruining the interior or the driving experience.

The DrivenVW Shifter-Mount Cup Holder + Fire Extinguisher is a patent-pending, precision-built solution that mounts directly at the shifter base on the tunnel. It securely holds large tumblers and bottles while keeping a compact automotive fire extinguisher locked in place and within immediate reach.

Designed by vintage VW owners, for vintage VW owners—this isn’t a plastic add-on. It’s a purpose-built metal accessory that looks right, feels solid, and works every day.

Holds Big Drinks Securely
Deep cup pocket with tall sidewalls keeps oversized tumblers, water bottles, and coffee cups upright—even on rough desert roads.

Integrated Fire Extinguisher Mount
Built-in cradle keeps a compact automotive extinguisher tight and accessible—no rolling around, no wasted seconds when it matters.

Driver-Focused Placement
Sits low and beside the shifter, staying clear of the shift pattern, handbrake, and seat travel.

Rock-Solid Mounting
Bolts directly to the shifter base for a rigid, vibration-free platform—no rattles, no flex.

Clean Vintage Look
Minimal, functional design that complements classic VW interiors. Available in raw metal for custom finishes or durable powder-coat options.

• Precision laser-cut and formed steel for strength and repeatable fit
   
• Smooth edges with a radiused top lip for easy cup entry and removal
   
• Raw finish for patina or custom paint
   
• Optional powder-coat for long-term durability and protection
