Does anyone have a blank where the phone prep goes or know what it's called?

I'm after a blank trim to go in the armrest in place of the phone prep kit, pictured.
Or better still, a cheap complete phone prep kit that I can fit just to fill the gap inside the armrest.

I removed my phone kit , nearly a year ago and binned it !! no resale value or so I thought ,
I cut and shaped some ribbed rubber matting taken from an obsolete machine at work .looks perfect without paying the extortionate price for the BMW part !!

Yeah I think Ive found some of the plain rubber inserts on ebay, but people are asking £15/20 for them.

Just ring your local dealer for the rubber mat insert. I got mine of ebay though.

Thanks.
Does the rubber mat require anything to clip it into position, or does it drop straight in?

Don't suppose you kept it? Saves me looking elsewhere.

No, I bought it after taking my cradle out for the same reason as you. It doesn't have any clips just sits on its own. I'm my case just on top of my old iPod touch mod to hide it.

ok, I'll buy one then. £15 on ebay
