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?

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.
