Anyone done this mod on a DCT car?...
I'm planning to swap out the front ashtray for the sunglasses tray as described in this DIY thread...
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7049 Has anyone done this successfully on a DCT equipped car? Specifically, does the front centre console lift off in exactly the same way as described in the DIY thread? Thanks in advance. |

This is exactly what's delaying my attempt. I had a look yesterday and found absolutely no movement when trying to pull up the centre console from around the DCT shifter. Please reasure me that if I keep pulling, it will eventually give, and that it won't break in the process... |

Right, true, its just that if you want two devices plugged in, you are SOL. I Its too bad the tray does not preserve the outlet somehow (in some non-bstructive way), so you would still have it if you needed it in a pinch.

I believe there is a DIY on here somewhere with someone keeping the the cigarette lighter and doing the mod. But if I remember correctly they moved the location to outside on the passenger side of the console. I didn't like the look, plus the second source for power in unnecessary for me.
