Just finished removing my bulky phone dock. Took about 30 minutes. So much for BMW telling me it'd stop my Bluetooth and would cost 300 bucks if they removed it. Thanks for the help. I woulnd't have been able to do it without this thread.

Anyone tried to sell their old dock?

I've had my 2014 X5 for about a month and that phone cradle was already driving me crazy...so much wasted space plus making the rest of it awkward to use. It took me about 40 minutes to take it out, but about 30 minutes of that was disconnecting the wiring connectors. Not a lot of space or wire slack, but well worth the time and effort.

I don't think that part bother people that much to spend the extra money and time to be replaced.

I did it cheap way.
One bolt hole the cellphone place thing.

Anyway, I don't recommend it because it looks ugly.
I did it because maybe someone wants to try it.

Is that opening big enough to have things to fall in it?
If it not, it could be the cheapest solution ever.

Guys the cover is barely $20. Why leave your car with a gaping hole in the center console.

I ordered both parts (replacement cover and rubber ashtray) for $16 and $8 respectively from the dealer. Took 2 Days to come in.

The swap took less than 10 minutes in their parking lot. Very happy with the outcome.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to thank the OP for it, took me all of 15 minutes to swap and its so worth it.

My wife was at the dealer for a service and she asked how much to remove it and they quoted her over $700!! I am wondering if they were quoting her to remove the wiring and everything completely because if they were going to charge that much to do this job they are high.

Thank you!

Fantastic post, got my 2014 F15 about 4 months ago and been wondering what the heck to do about that stupid cradle...

Just to confirm, the fan has no function without the phone cradle in use, correct? So I can pull it without consequence?

Yes, it is the same for all F15/F16 X5/X6 and F85/F86 X5M/X6M.

Just did this in under 20 minutes and super easy, most difficult would be access to the connectors, it's tight. Well worth it and love the usable space now. Here's a before and after, (took some throughout but seems a bit redundant) anyone need a cradle assembly or iPhone snap in? Lol
