Hi all,

Life story - I had my last BMW 1 series on lease, but yesterday officially ended that and bought myself a 320D, feels good!

Some of the little intricacies I had no idea about, I love the handle lighting and the touchpad iDrive wheel.

Can someone please tell me what this in the attached? I think it's a port for a phone dock after some googling, but there's no dock included, so the last guy must have half inched it!

Is it worth getting the attachment separately? Should I look up a tutorial to replace it with the standard tray instead?

Thanks in advance,
Josh

Thanks mate.

Is this the snap in adapter I need?

What is the actual benefit of the adapter? I have a phone mount attached to one of the heating grills with USB connection already.

Thanks,
Josh

There is no benefit. Today's supersized phones do not fit.

Don't waste your money.

Thanks guys,

I have taken the advice of SchweiZ4 and begun the first steps of his brilliant tutorial on how to swap out the adapter for the classic storage tray below: by buying the required parts / tools!

I did this mod a few years back following the same Link, found the tray really helpful

Converted the plug behind the armrest vent to a extra usb port with a cable routed to the the tray area, unsure why its not in that link.
it uses the docking cable.
