A cupholder temperature control system including a pressure sensor for detecting an object within a cupholder, a temperature sensor for detecting a current object temperature of the object, an optical sensor for capturing an image of the object, a processor to perform an image recognition algorithm to detect at least one of a logo, a bar code and a quick response code on the object, to determine the object is a beverage container in response to a detection of the at least one of the logo, the bar code and the quick response code, to generate a control signal in response to the current object temperature differing from an ambient temperature by a threshold amount and the object being a beverage container, and a heat transfer system configured to maintain the current object temperature of the object in response to the control signal.
