    I thought about one of those small panels where you have a couple of USB charge ports and a voltmeter. This is an example of a mod someone did to a Discovery rear panel. Obviously a different type of install but you get the idea.

    Ok so I've done a little research and have found that many people are turning there ashtrays in to iPhone docking ports so I've decided to go down that route! I still need a replacement ashtray but I will document the build and post it up here for all to see.

    That'd be good to see. If you get the bug, perhaps a couple of usable drink holders as well :)

    Trying to find some where to put a cup holder anywhere in these cars is going be a nightmare! There is so little room I'm used to working on Volkswagens the only place I can think is the glove box or maybe cutting a location in the dash but that will take a lot of skill to look professional!

    There a VW version that looks like it replaces the ashtray in some of their van type models. Not sure how big they are though. The other alternative is on a JP website and costs an arm and a leg.
