Mine broke too, I don't smoke but it sure was nice for the phone charger! I will be checking back to see if someone figured out how to fix it. Even if you get a replacement, how do you get it out?

- it's gotta be a tiny spring/clip that has broken?

I had the dealer do the install for the ipod and it came with an software update which also solved a slight transmission slam issue I had. A win win for me.

Let me know how this repair was to execute...easy or hard. I am curious if the wood trim was easily removed since to crack it means big $$$$.
