productive ash tray use

Well I use the armrest with the coin slots. But the ashtray I use to put my bluetooth earpiece in ( I don't have the bluetooth option) so that's useful. But does anyone find that whatever they put in there gets hot? My bluetooth is usually really warm/hot when I take it out makes me think about not keeping it there lol.

Well, there... USB stick in Cigarette lighter. I guess I should mention the '06 tray is different. Anyway, basically, I took the center console apart, attacked the lighter from the underside until I could get it out (preventing dings and dents recommended) . Minor problem was that I wasn't sure how to mount the plug in there. It's just a wire running from the back of my Kenwood headunit, so I shoved it in to see how well it sits. I decided to use the metal trim of the lighter slot to mount the input slot. All I did was stick it in the metal piece and then clamped it down with pliers. As I mentioned, it's just a ghetto self-made mock-up but gets the job done. Ash tray stays shut mostly, and there's no usb wire hanging down from the side of my passenger side area anymore.
One minor inconvenience might be that you may have trouble allowing the tray to open/close once you mount the input usb wire because, depending on the wire, it might rub against some plastic on the inside, under the shifter area. What i did was cut that plastic; It literally seemed useless.
