I replaced the center console compartment insert today with an EU part. The cup holders in the center console are worthless and I will never use the snap in phone adapter. It took about an hour to install. I tucked the phone connector and small motherboard in the console area tunnel with the other existing wires. I left the adapter plugged into the wiring harness.

Install was way easy since my neighbor's visiting son is a BMW tech and he yanked out the console in the time it took me to get two beers.

$51 for the new insert and insert liner from Schmiedmann.

Here are the part numbers:
1 -- ODDMENTS TRAY -- 51169181218
1 -- FLOOR MAT VELOURS -- 51169174845
