Question on 12V Aux socket?

andyj00 · 01-25-2008, 05:39 PM

Went to look at a E90 330d today. Just wondering where I'd plug in my speed camera detector and Sat Nav in the 12V? I noticed there is a cigerette lighter 12V socket underneath the centre armrest, but its doesnt look like its designed to have a large plug of a Sat Nav in it cos it dont look like the armrest will shut. Is there another 12V socket?

I also checked what looks like where the ashtray would go, in font of the gear stick and there wasnt a 12V socket in there either.

Cheers.

There is a socket at the front end of the centre console. Its a little panel underneath the ventilation controls. You'll need to keep the flap open to use the 12v socket.

tHERE Should be 2 sockets 1 in the arm rest and one in the ashtray in front of the gear lever.

Only if the car has smoker package.

If the car had this deleted (no cost) when built then you only get the 1 in the arm rest.

A small rubber-lined tray for change and so on.
