Put my Beltronics STi-R Plus remote in there- fits pretty nicely. Allows me to discretely close it in the event the lawman cometh. Gives me a fighting chance to have him go easy on me...

The previous order installed an aux cable to the stereo and routed the cable into the ash tray by drilling in to the bottom. I thought it was a standard option when I bought it..

The 5AT ash trays are smaller than the 6MT ones, but Ive seen people put their sub controls in the ash tray.

I've transformed my cigarette lighter into a USB plug, and just keep relevant miscellaneous items in the actual tray. By "relevant", I mean things like the USB Flashdrive's cap/cover, a small micro cloth for the touch screen (and other things I suppose), and stuff like that.

You have a plug in there or permanent fixture?

Can you close the door with it in?

I'd like a permanent plug with dual usb that allows me to close the ashtray door when not in use.

That really wouldn't be that hard to do. Any custom car audio shop could probably do it within a couple hours, if you couldn't on your own.

It's kind of a ghetto permanent fixture, but I don't think it's ugly by any means. If, for some reason, the thing you're plugging in is too long then of course the tray wont' close, but for me, my USB Flashdrive full of music can sit in the plug and be short enough to close the tray. It's probably 1.5 inches long. I can easily grab a picture for you later; maybe even a quick video to explain it a little.

That would be great, as google searches for "cigarette lighter to usb" bring up plugs, nothing permanent.

No, don't want a shop to do it. And I don't want to figure it out on my own. I'd rather find a clean, successful way of doing it and copying.

All the dual USB plugs I've found are too tall and won't allow the tray to close.
