I like it, I've often wished I could put my cell phone in the ashtray since I don't smoke either

I've mentioned this to a friend of mine that is into prototyping & molding. My idea was to disassemble cheap iPod/iPhone docking stations (to use their serial chip for charging) & manually wire the audio to audio, the doc connector to power, & possibly some sort of interface. It never got off the paper & pencil stage I bought some doc connectors, but never got around to doing anything like this

I'm in the process of making a new shift plate without the ashtray doors and the power window/mirror switches incorporated into the top plate therefore no need for the use of the lower plate at all.

I have plans of moving window switches to ashtray location and add cup hold in the new open spot.

My personal cell phone fits in the ashtray area with the ashtray removed w/o any other mods (older phone that is thicker).
My work phone (Atrix HD) is almost a perfect fit in the PW/PM recessed panel (I don't have PW or PM), but that isn't doesn't work if you have those options.

I have often thought about doing this very same thing. It's the perfect location for a phone charger/docking station. Right now, I just place my phone in one ashtray slot, and my wallet in the other. ------------------ 2002 Audi Allroad. Tip. 100% Natural. (FOR SALE) 2011 VW Golf.

I just cut out a small piece of that nonskid material and set it on the ledge in front of the shifter (where your piece of paper is). The phone just lays on it and Ive never had it slide off. I use the same stuff in all my cars just setting on the dash. It wont stick if you use any of the vinyl dressings like Armor All.

Wasnt meant to. I just always go with simplest of anything because it generally works.... I use ashtrays for car wash change. My phone is the only one Ive had that rings loud enough to hear with windows or top down. Most newer phones its easier to see the screen light up on an incoming call than to hear it. Sitting face up, you can SEE it ring. Verizon has been trying to get me to get a new free phone for 5-6 years. Ive told them Ill get a new one when you have one that rings louder than mine.
