What do you mean "does it work"? Looks like a phone cup that you place your phone into and maybe some pens... Nothing more...

I saw this too:



from Moss MINI and the $11.95 price was the best I could find for it. However I did find this:



for $3.99! It doesn't fit the front cup holder, but works just fine in the rear one.

Unlike on the rest of the Mossmini site, there's actually a picture of one on their sale flyer pdf that looks to actually be in a MINI... Don't know why they couldn't do that elsewhere on the site... Anyway, it appears to fit ok based on that picture...

Kevin, how is the clearance between the cell-cup and the toggle switches? Any pictures?

Thanks.

here are a couple of photos.

if you put a pen in the left pen hole it'll probably be in the way of the window switch. the right pen clears (but i don't have a switch there in the middle). my cell phone (motorola 300) clears the switchs. i put my hand in the one photo so you could see i can still operate the switch with no problem.

i have now found that if you rotate it to the right by 90 degrees (1/4 turn) it actually clears the toggles better, makes one pen eaiser to reach as well as the cell phone is easier to reach (or whatever you put in the two oval holes).
