I don't have the exec pkg, but my car came with the cradle. US car. week 5 2017.

I may get a tray and lose my insert. It'll give the space much more depth. I didn't know it existed before I put on my arts and crafts smock.

Have you found any good prices for the center console tray part?

I used this post as a guide but I had to take remove the console rear cover (the one that holds the rear seat vent...using plastic pry tool) to access the wires. And, I only had two wires to disconnect. The cradle pried out of the console just as this prior post says. Voila!!! More space!!!

Sorry guys, didn't see your posts. I'm in Canada and we don't have the Executive package. We have slightly different options, it was very limited. I think there were only 2 options when I purchased.
1) Telephony package
2) Sunroof (MY2017)

I didn't get the Telephony package and my car came with the rubber/plastic tray insert. I'm assuming if Telephony was optioned, it would've come with the cradle.

I did this on my 2016 M2, using the OE rubber insert in place of the snap in base plate. In addition, I modified the USB wire that plugs into the base plate by shaving off two small tabs so that it would accept an OE USB socket from another application. (part #84109237656) I plugged a USB extension cable into that, and then an Apple lighting/USB cable that runs to the Proclip mount on my dash. It works perfectly. All the wires are hidden within the guts of the console, and I am able to use the other USB socket in the console for an iPod full of music when I don't want to stream.

I got the "telephony" option on my 18 LCI...it comes with a wireless charger in the console and works perfectly with my S6edge; which being an older phone, I assume it will work nicely with newer phones. (Not an iPhone guy, so have no idea if they work, but assume so)

I have yet to open the center console...in the 1 month of ownership
