I'll give the cable tie trick ago when I'm sat on the ferry after work.
This is the gap under my arm rest.  Any recommendations on what I can do with it?

Thats a different setup to the one under my armrests, I am guessing you have the single one. The connectors for the handset are different as well, so not sure what would sit on that.

Looks like a pretty common Nokia design to me.
For fishing stuff out of gaps I've used various tools, including thin blades, but found that double-sided tape near the tip can help grip the offending object. My most recent obstruction was a fuel card - Shell Drivers Club to be precise.

That's the Audi cradle.. You can get some adapters for iPhones, etc. but they're stupid expensive.
I've fitted two USB connectors to the back of mine and put a double USB charger underneath spliced into the rear lighter socket, works a treat, nice and neat, and you can just push the cables back into the cubby out the way.

I got two arm rests if that's what you mean. Quote:
I'm going to try and stay away from cutting holes and such in this one. I'm semi obsessed with OEM kit, so want to try and keep it all OEM the best I can. Quote:

or just get a cheap cradle and a cheap phone and leave it while still using the bluetooth connected to my current phone?
Cheaper holder. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351028466233 Cheap phone. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281289644279 Done. The whole is filled and I got no exposed connections............But the Audi phone looks better. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161251961494

First off, will this fit in the middle phone holder with the correct cradle?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161251961494 Secondly, sorted out my cup holder but I got a bit carried away. 1, remove the ashtray and lift the wood trim up. Even without like that the wife is still convinced its different to the rest of the wood.  2, Take a look at the dirt and find out it was a smokers car at some point.   3, with the cup holders out and the tray removed. Time to find out what's happening and how dirty it is.   4, £1.25 stopping it from opening.  5, Got a bit carried way and did a full strip and clean.  While taking the LEDs out I slightly damaged one of the cables.  Easy enough to fix but annoyed with myself. Tonight's job is to polish up the wood to see if I can remove some light scratches and clean the rest of the bits that's in the car. I think I'm going to remove the other holders and ashtrays to give them a clean and remove the sticky residue from their past.

Other ideas
The other option is to remove the phone holder and install the bluetooth phone module instead.it leaves some holes, so you may want to also replace the cubby hole as I did (they take a while to turn up on ebay)
The phone module lives under the carpet in the front passenger footwell and is fairly easy to replace, just needs a replacement connector installed. If ollowed this guide http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....87&postcount=1 The bluetooth module is part number 4e0862335 and you can get the, on ebay every now and then for about £150 The replacement cubby hole part number is 4E0863075D has no holes but took about a year of waiting before I got one from germany in the colour I needed
