DIY: E70 Phone Cradle Removal
So I didn't see a DIY for E70 Phone Cradle removal. This cradle is in the center console and takes up a lot of space, not to mention it is super outdated. This is a very straight forward removal.
Tools Needed: Plastic Pry Tool T20 T25 Step 1: Remove T20 bolt under glove box on passenger side footwell Step 2: Use pry tool to give you enough space on the lower carpet to get a finger or two behind and slide carpet towards front of vehicle. You will see 2 retaining clips that hold it to the center console Step 3: Move passenger sit forward, go to back seat and push rear carpet forward. Revealing 4 retaining clips. Step 4: Open center console, Unclip the phone cradle reveals (2) T25 screws underneath Step 5: On passenger side center console, you will see the electrical harness, remove 3 cables and snake harness out of the center console Step 6: Remove phone cradle Step 7: Insert blocking plate (PN#51169115083) - this part is stupid expense (~$70). I think someone on FBM is doing a 3D print for $30, doesn't look nearly as good as OEM. So as of now, mine is just open and I will look for a parts car.

There was a time that the blocking plate was uber cheap, OEM for under $30... Not anymore. :-(
Do you think you could edit your photos to circle/highlight the areas where screws are removed or point to an area of focus from your steps?

Do Not overestimate ppl's spelling!
You didn't find this because the title was too specific (iphone) and was for a "craddle" ! I did it a few yrs back following this and contributed to this thread: https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=894555 I found it searching "Search Entire Posts" instead of Thread titles.
