    I can't seem to get the black leather case with the owners manual to fit in the glove box, especially with my iPod in there. For now, I strapped it behind the tool kit in the frunck.

    Anyone manage to get fit the case in the glove box? Was not an issue with my 430...


    Thanks,

    Ron

    I had the same problem. The toolkit in the trunk (on the passenger side) has a slide-in compartment in the back (you don't open the kit to get to it) that will fit the manual.

    Yup, slightly annoying.

    Solved it by placing it upright flat on the cars floor along the outer side of the passenger seat.

    Best,

    FWIW, the California manuals also do not fit the glove box.

    Instead, there are 2 snap-on buttons on back of the manual's pouch which mate with counterparts mounted on a vertical panel on the lower left side of the felt-lined trunk. A separate, thinner pouch holds the service booklet, maintenance records, roadside assistance docs and does fit in the glove box…barely.

    If you have an iTouch or iPhone you can download the manual from the Ferrari owners website. Then you have your music and manual all in one place. You can also search for items in the manual rather than flipping through the pages.

    I bought a used Saab manual case to hold all the manuals on Ebay. My dealer told me depending on what country you live in determines how many manuals you get so that is why they use a generic case which hold basically nothing and does not fit in the glove box.
