What happens to the power outlet? I use mine to charge my phone and I put my sunglasses in the overhead compartment.
The power outlet is disconnected and tie wraped. You will have to use the one in the arm rest, unless you move the power outlet to the passanger side and put one of those black safety caps on it.
I have NOT been able to locate a "little lever" hence I have not been able to remove the ash tray in my 250AWD. Where is it? A picture would help, but I will settle for a clear description.

There is a picture in the owners manual. The lever is normally used to eject the ash tray so that you can dump the cigarette butts. (Yuck, the thought of those gross things in my car, now where is the smiley vomiting icon?)
Can your charger use the power outlet in the arm rest?
Kinda tight. It's a shame the power outlet wasn't 90 degrees in the arm rest so it can be closed while in use. I'd have to buy an extension with a wire and another female port to lay it over. I'm sure the ipod'ers are struggling with that issue.
Years ago I hid the controller to a CD changer in a compartment similar to the IS'. Fabricated a plate to mount it and then the door would close over the controller so no one could tell it was custom. Good thing I don't smoke.
I have plans for that tray. I need a place to mount either a computer screen for my future car computer or build a dock connector for my ipod. I could probably make due with what I already had but this new tray might provide a cleaner solution. This is my $1,000 summer car computer project, the tray came out of the budgeted amount.
You likely already have a "coin holder" in the dash on the left side behind the steering wheel. You can get more of those plug-ins from ebay. Mine came with one.
