1) picked it up locally in Toronto, Autowerks has them online.
2) answered
3) Thanks, I like it too. Its a mid weight PVC full frame and one piece mounting plate that I've had for about 8 yrs. I had 2 but my wife scooped the other one for her 330is.They were made by a company in Canada.I could try and source one if you want>>>

At about 45 degrees twist the arms will line up with cutouts in the hood that will allow the whole assembly to pop out the top>>>>>
Thanx!

brn: The Ipod is hardwired to the lighter and if you have Nav, then there is an AUX plug in the glovebox. No NAV, no plug.
We ran the Aux cable behind the glovebox and down center pod, joined up with the Monster car charger. Then ran the 2 cables under the console to the arm rest storage box. Cut a hole in the bottom of that box for the cables to exit the console. Then the cables can come out under the arm rest lid to the Ipod. No problem closing the lid over the cables and the whole kit goes in the arm rest storage when parked and you would never no its there.
BoB: Thanks man...maybe I"ll see you at Franks sometime,,,,,
