Cigarette lighter stuck on 99.5 ..... Does dealer-fix scratch or damage the center console ?

I imagine they poke a wire or something into the "pop-up" mechanism, in order to release it. If they're not careful, they could scratch the area surrounding the lighter.<p>If that's the case, then I'll probably just leave the lighter in there (non-smoker). However I'd then need to hardwire my Valentine .....<p>99.5 2.8QT<br>

My dealer scratched the socket area some, but with the lighter in the closed position, it looks perfect

Thanks for that heads-up ..... Did yours jam because the "lit" lighter popped out whilst in the close position ? I don't know why mine jammed.

That's my dealer's theory. It happened after my wife drove it, so that's highly likely. I keep the plug in the glove box now

That's a great idea .... Fellow 99.5 drivers take note .... You'd think the Audi engineers could have caught that one (nt).

Has anyone tried retrofitting a dash/tripcomp and/or centre console from a 99.5+ into pre 99.5 car?
