My E55 has Comand APS and therefore an aux-in socket in the glovebox. Great, but a bit fiddly when trying to change music whilst driving as to do so I need to let go of the wheel and climb into the passenger seat whilst deciding what track to listen to next (hope my insurers aren't reading this...)

So, I decided to relocate it to the top part of the armrest where the original phone cradle lived.

I'm impressed at how easy it was to dismantle the parts of the cabin I needed to to enable me to thread the 2m 3.5mm extension from the glovebox to the armrest. Very few (Torx) screws involved and parts just unclip - great design MB!

Took me about 3 hours in total as it was the first time I had taken apart the inside and didn't want to break anything, but if I had to do it again it would be a lot quicker.

My Colorfly C3 fits really neatly too :D
