Is anyone using the the BMW USB Charger (http://www.shopbmwusa.com/ProductDet...ProductId=3723 )in the center stack ashtray? I have a 2008 535xi and am interested to know if the ashtray can be closed while this is plugged in the socket (much like the ligher can be)while not charging my phone?

...but since you want to close the ash tray with it plugged into the socket...maybe you'll have good luck with this one:

My Ride: 2008 535i LCI with sports/premium package, Sports trans with paddle shifters, CF emblems, JB4 Software, Dinan Exhaust, Navigation, M5Tech body kit, Carbon wrap interrior trim and CIC Controller.
I looked into this and everywhere I called it was not available anymore... I went with a flush mount from ebay and I use the power adaptor that is under the glovebox footwell area. It so flush I forgot about it and when I removed the panel last night I thought, nice, I didn't realize I had a USB there, then I remembered! Ebay was like two bucks.
