Hi All,

I have a 530D with a phone cradle built in to the armrest. Unfortunately, the cradle is for a Nokia and I have a BlackBerry.

I have bluetooth connection, but it would be much nicer to use the cradle, as the phone will charge and be out of sight.

Can the cradle be upgraded? I phoned the local Beemer dealer, but I was kept on hold so long, I gave up! So, does anyone know the answer to this? ...and roughly how much? (Ouch! no doubt!)

Hi dood, I used to live in leicester, was born there, What part are you from?. Yes the cradle can be changed, they cost around £60 and can be found on ebay but also your local dealer will have them, nip in ask and there parts department.

Thanks for the info! Price sounds good to me - I thought it would be more. I live in Stoney Stanton now, near Hinckley - was a Leicester lad up until 17, then left to find my own space. Drivers side (O/S) seat belt is lazy to retract - where do you think would be best place to get one? Are they handed? ...cos passenger belts are always in great nick second-hand. Also, do you know a good supplier of mats? - I see them advertised, but I want nice quality ones. Originals are about a ton, so not unreasonable, but sometimes pattern ones are really good.
