E34 Cassette partition???

[indierthanthou]

I could actually use one of those for a little project im working on. Does anyone have the part # for it?

[CharlesAFerg]

Oh and BTW those little refrigerators from mervyns? Fit like a glove on the back seat. ONly bad thing they are grey not black.

I have a grey interior, which exactly are you talking about?

Your car doesnt have one?

My car doesn't have one either.

EDIT: Found the blank and lighter inserts on real oem. Had never even thought to look fir such a thing... THANKS A BUNCH! Saved me a bunch of fab time.

The thing is though attack eagle, do you know if there are already wires in the back there for the cigarette lighter? When you go to do this little project and pop that little cover out to fit a cigarette lighter in there, can you let me know?

I much prefer to charge my phone (that always sits in the centre console cavity) from the back rather than have the ash tray out and the phone charger sticking up, and I am looking at doing something similar in the near future.

Unfortunately, it left a hole in the console because it's wired with a wee light, so I had to replace the console.

Dave, can you tell me where the hole is? I have a hole in mine and originally thought it was because of a phone mounted by the previous owner, but I now suspect that maybe my E34 came with this cassete thing, long gone now.

mervyns is having a sale this week on some little $60 mini refrigerators... think a mini center console that holds several cans and is 12v powered.
I bought one just to give it a shot because they were 50% off.

IT's about the same width as the rear armrest, and fits perfectly for me between the two car seats. Besides I just want something that can keep a couple of already cooled bottles of formula chilled for few hours while I am out and about.

luna: at first glance the wires are not in there. I'll edit and update if I find them pre installed.

an easy way to fix those lids snapping up is to alter or cut the spring.

The hole is at the back, toward the rear seats. It's a pretty big hole, too -- big enough to stick three or four fingers through it.

Excellent, keep me posted. If tehre aren't any preinstalled wires, would you have to pull out the entire centre console to put them there?

Just went out to have a look at mine. I have a large hole near the back (but on the bottom bit, not on any sides) and I can just squeeze one finger in it. It also has three smaller holes in a semi-circular fashion around it, but on the front side towards the gear shifter.

So I guess this was something else then with my E34.
