Confused by the non-smoker's kit

[Dohertycm]

I bought the kit, because I didnt like the door. I dont smoke so some of the decision was priciple. BUT it did come with a plug and replacement 12volt lighter recepticle. I like the plug. And when sitting in the car my Motorola phone fits in the box....personally it looks better than the ashtray..

I just installed a kit on my S and I love it. Perfect for storing cell phone, etc...

My old ashtray lid/surround were a bit scratched up, so now it looks better too.

The kits are a bit pricey for what they are, but I figured that down the road when I sell the car, I'll put the ashtray back in and sell the non smoker kit on eBay.

I have the non-smoker's tray as well. Very useful to place to put my phone or other items you don't want rolling around. My car's ash tray was never used, so I sold it on eBay after removing (along with the worthless cupholders) and virtually recovered my investment.

I thought about purchasing the non-smokers kit, but decided against it. Instead, I bought an extra (very small) garage door opener and velcroed it into the ashtray. The ashtray hinge keeps the remote opener out of public view. I thought this was easier and cheaper than doing the garage door opener hack. Regarding the otherwise worthless cup holders, they are great for holding cell phones and blackberries closer to eye level while driving.
