So, today I got around to pulling apart the centre console trim and fitting the sunglasses tray and also removing the snap-in adapter assembly in favour of the oddments tray. All went well with no damaged trim
![]() Loads more room and much better to plug my iPhone into the USB power and Aux and have somewhere nice for it to rest (non-slip too ![]() In case anybody is interested, the armrest insert is the following part: Centre Armrest Storage Insert Tray: 51167118064 (I'm sure you all know about the sunglasses tray part) Good job eh ![]() ![]()

Oh tidy! That tray, it replaces where the phone adapter is supposed to be? How hard was it to replace?
Seems a cheap mod as well: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuin...ht_4072wt_1396 |

A very cheap mod
![]() Popped it out and removed 2 connections (easily accessible if you remove the handbrake gaiter also) and just pushed the new tray into place ![]()

Neat - although I actually use my phone holder, with the result that I rarely take it out of the car!
As a matter of interest, what is the catch for that is just forward of the cup holder?? I don't have the cup holder, just a felt lined "hole" for oddments - an LCi "improvement"? Mike |

The switch used to control the aircon to the cupholder, keeping cans cold in the summer.
BMW removed it on LCi models, along with glovebox torch charging port, seat nets, quality sun visors, etc.. |

I've got seat nets, but that may be part of the "Extended Storage" |

Guys, I have a rubber armrest insert for sale, if anybody is interested. Doesn't fit mine as I have the cradle installed.
£7 delivered! Pm me! Quote:

I know it seems a bit OTT to have purchased the official BMW USB power adapter, but I already had a Belkin one and although fine, it didn't fit flush whereas this one is bang on as you'd expect... I'm just a sucker for nice aesthetics I guess

Sounds about right... its the whole assembly and a fair price if I'm honest, much better value for money than the £45 usb lead BMW do
![]() Watered down DIY coming soon (watered down since I've got to explain everything retrospectively).
