I am so tired of using the rear seat's 12v socket since non of the usb come from bmw will allow me to charge my Note 8 and S9... was about to cut open the unused space behind idrive controller, and discovered this, the ash tray.
there is a usb 12v socket conveniently located right next to it so... This is going to be interesting. I have 2 samsung adaptive fast charger double din usb 12v socket charger, a mini volt meter for a 12v battery and some extremely small switch, also have a plastic wood kinda veneer lying around. so ....also I am planning on installing a light bar and rigid blocks for my fog lights..
I want it to be like a plug n play accessories, just have a 12v plug that conveniently plug into the right hand size 12v socket, the light bar control probably will just be a cheap ebay $20 remote control + relay....... The only thing that's not reverseable is the ash tray it self.... I don't think that matter since my X5 will last long enough when it final broke it's probably time for salvage yard..
