DIY - Sunglass holder (replaces ashtray)

starbai · 10-19-2016, 11:37 AM

I got the ashtray with a door in nice condition if anyone wants it? I sold my e90 a while back but still have the ashtray. PM me if anyone's interested.

Does this retrofit compartment fit an iPhone? I'd prefer going with the covered option with a lid that can close, but when the lid is open, can I rest my phone vertically in the tray while it displays Google maps? Sideways? Is anyone by chance willing to post some pics of this?

Much appreciated, and thank you for the DIY write up and detail everyone!

Do What I always recommend, magicMOUNT™ Dash "Original", @Target for $19.99, stick it next to the REST/ALL AC knob on the empty trim side, Minimalistic design with great magnet power, been my dear friend on all my BMWs, let alone that at this location, your eyes won't be away from the road.

If you want a photo to show you just let me know !

Here is what the Scoche MagicMOUNT looks like, very minimalistic design, and supreme quality product.
