Can anyone reason with this?
Curiosity has gotten to me - in the upper compartment of the centre console (next to the phone cradle) I have a thing which is rounded and spring loaded - what is this for? Does anyone have any clues as to why it is designed like this? Top right of this pic  Bottom left (bottom of pen)

I would guess that it's for a built in phone's cable or something like that.

If you have a pic that would be great! - is that for the cradle? - I was under the impression the antenna was built into the car and not seperate.. is it a BMW antenna?

I don't know what the function of this particular antenna...
And I think I saw someone on this board modified the phone holder for the cradle to take an iphone... i might be wrong, though... I did not forget about the pic, will do it later today

Did anyone manage to get a pic of it with the antenna installed?
Anyone else know what the purpose of this antenna is?
