STAR T20 Screwdriver

Шаг 1: Снимите вентиляционные решетки на панели
In this step, which is not as easy as a certain youtube video would suggest, we remove the center console vents. I did this by gripping the top right of the vent and getting my fingers under and unsnapping it, then i ran my fingers along to unsnap the left hand side. As seen below:
I then ran my fingers down from the leftside to finally unclip the vents:
At this point you can safely rest the vents on the centre console, it wont damage or scratch anything
Step 2: Remove the passenger side T20 (STAR) screw
Below you can see the screw which needs removing, this was simple, although a little effort was required- so make sure you use the correct bit, or you'll bald the head.
Step 3: Insert the dashboad mount
At this stage, i was a little worried as i couldnt figure out how to get the mount in. Turns out you simply need to slide it down between the dashboard and the CD unit as shown in the image below. ensure you align the screw hole with the screw hole in the dash
Step 4: Reassemble
Reassemble by screwing the T20 screw back in (nice and tight so everything comes together), and snap the vents back onto the dash
Step 5: Attach your chosen phone bracket
I used my brodit dock from my previous car, but you can attach whatever you wish. Any brodit dock works with this solution. The great thing about brodits is that its on a cylinder adjustable- so it can be rotated any direction to suit your needs
Step 5: Admire work
Congratulations, you now have a convenient way to access your phone. I'll post up how i routed my USB cable to the arm rest, if i ever get around to it:

Прокладка USB-кабеля
Необходимое:
iPhone Y кабель - BMW номер 61120440812
Dock Extender Extension Cable (This is the one i purchased, and thus know works)
Philips Screwdriver
File (not for your car, dont worry )
Picture frame wire, or simmilar - you can get this from any good DIY store- the key is that it is fairly strong and long

File the iPhone dock
The first problem i encountered was the USB extender cable end was too big to fit in the iPhone dock. I had to file it down to make it fit- Make sure the dock fits flush with the mount.
Locate and prep the arm rest
You must first pull out the rubber tray inside the arm rest. This is crucial to routing the USB cable
Slip your finger nail in the grove, and push your finger in
Grip with your finger and pull it out
Feed the USB cable into the arm rest
You must feed the female end of the USB cable up through and into the arm rest. Do this by forcing the connector between the upolstory and dashboard- it will fit through. Then push the cable through, and you will see it through the rectangle in the centre of the arm rest. Put your fingers in there and pull it through.
You will end up with this
Install the Y adapter and connect to the female end of the USB extender
Push the slack cable down and re-insert the rubber tray
You will now end up with the some slack USB cable, and a male end
Lay the USB down the centre console
Locate the working area
Slide your fingers between the upolstory and the dashboard, lifting it gently away
You will notice when you release, the dashboard fits back without any problems
Insert the slack cable into the gab pade by your fingers and push it up
The cable will then be swallowed up behind the console
Push the remaining cable under and the cable will be hidden
Here is what the result is- make sure that the cable is taught as possible at this moment, ensuring that you have as much cable as possible
Route the cable up the dashboard
In this step, which is not as easy as a certain youtube video would suggest, we remove the center console vents. I did this by gripping the top right of the vent and getting my fingers under and unsnapping it, then i ran my fingers along to unsnap the left hand side. As seen below:
I then ran my fingers down from the leftside to finally unclip the vents:
At this point you can safely rest the vents on the centre console, it wont damage or scratch anything
Take you're picture frame wire and feed it into the the hole in the dash, and down towards the passenger footwell
Then push your fingers up into the dashboard in the passener footwell. it's fiddley, but you will get it eventually
Wrap the wire around the end of your extension cable, then tuck it inside of the dashboard and pull the cable up from the other end, slowly, until the cable appears (sorry for the lack of pictures here- i will update with propper pics tonight- i only just did this on the car park at work)
Re-attach the vents- make sure you keep the cable in the corner of the vents, and you will end up with this:
Note that the small gap is not noticeable, even with this thick USB cable, the vents snap back in and are sealed- as on a max air con, there is no leaked air detected, and the small gap cannot be seen due to the docks position
