All,
I've been searching for an iPhone 5 car mount solution that doesn't occupy the already limited cup holders. I decided against the snap-in option because it doesn't support video out. Plus, I had an older iPhone 4 that I put in that spot that simply acts as a hard-drive for movies, music and such.

After much searching on the Internet, I ended up going with a mount from iBOLT because it uses your existing cable. Keep in mind that you will need to superglue the cable into the holder if you want to connect/disconnect with one hand. The iDrive control panel comes off pretty easily, just be sure to use a plastic screw-driver to avoid scratching the panel. The only thing I don't like about this solution is that I had to use the adhesive to connect the iPhone mount to the iDrive controller panel. Anyone know where to find replacement panels in case I need one in the future?

Here's a picture of the final install.
