I'm trying to add charging socket in the back of front armrest. I've read posts where people have done this using OEM parts.

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=51&fg=35

I've got the Grey non wood trim, no rear heating or no rear Aux. I've seen the part numbers for the Non wood trims as follows

FOR VEHICLES WITH
SEAT HEATING, REAR
ONLY APPLIES TO SEAT HEATING
S496A=YES
19 COVERING REAR SCHWARZ 1 51167135656 $12.05
19 COVERING REAR BEIGE 1 51167135657 $12.05
19 COVERING REAR GRAU 1 51167135658 $12.05
19 COVERING REAR TR?FFELBRAUN 1 51167135659 $12.05

Plus if you don't have rear seat heating you can buy a blanking plate to fill the hole where the buttons go.

24 BLIND PLATE 3 64228385142 $5.80


However my question is do the base plates come with the charging sockets or do those need to be bought separately. I heard some people say that the Maple Wood Trim they bought came with the sockets and wondered if the non wood trims were the same.
I trying to use the cheapest but cleanest look option and so if the base plate doesn't come with the charging sockets then I might just want to buy a blank flat plate and drill the holes required myself. It will save me money buying the blanking plates. Can anyone tell me the part number for the flat base plate for the Grey plastic trim?
