They were only offered with the pre-facelift version/without a sunroof as far as I know so you would gave to change the entire console or modify it to fit.

It always seemed daft to take the holder out, but then that's 'progress' !

Maybe not...

Mine is a 2004 Face-lift 218 D-Sport ... & it has the sunglasses holder in the roof console.
So maybe there is provision to fit it if you can locate the parts ?

I have 2005 facelift, with panoramic sun roof, but no alarm. I have the glasses holder. Maybe it's one or the other, but not both?
