Whilst drinking copious amounts of coffee while pouring over the various topics on the forums, I keep reading about there being a 12 volt socket under the armrest..... I have searched the car from front to back, and top to bottom.
I have one where the ash tray/cup holders are, I have one on the rear of the arm rest for people sitting in the rear seats to use, and I have one in the luggage area..... but there is definitely nothing other than the 3.5mm Aux socket under the arm rest in the storage area 
My e70 is a Sept 2007 3.0d model, could this socket have been a manufacturer optional extra when my car was built or something that became a standard fit to later models? |
The front wall of the armrest compartment could come optioned in mutiple ways. If you have a 12 volt socket...it would be obvious...you'd have
item #5 in the part database diagram below. If you don't have #5...then you must have
#3.
