I didn't know there is another cigarette lighter in the glove compartment. I'll have to check it out this weekend.

It's well hidden under the glove box, on the left side.

funny ... when I saw this I said to myself, looks like something flpnout has added ... then I scrolled down to check and here you are

EDIT --- under the clove box ... I dont think it is a lighter ... it is a 12 volt power outlet you can use.

Thanks! Found it...lol

I also read somewhere that there is another small hidden compartment on the driver side. Must be 2011 and up.

You're welcome. I had no idea it was there until I actually pulled that panel to hardwire my detector. Pretty smart of those Krauts.

Cig adapter. 12v power supply. Same-ish thing

I plug my detector into the 12V port on left sidewall of passenger footwell. Never a problem, not in the way of the passenger, and most importantly cord is out of your area.

I had my stock 35i wheel retrimmed and padded out a little. I like the brushed steel on the non M sport wheel

I was looking to get a M steering wheel but do you recommend this instead? Is it worth it?
