The cigarette lighter seems to have a very prominent position on the centre console in the A3 and since I will never use it are there any alternatives to it? Like a blanking trim? Can it be removed? (I probably won't use the power socket either). In my brother's 53-plate A4 the cigarette lighter is similarly positioned but has a nice folding mechnaism to it so that it hides away.
Alternatives to cigarette lighter? Blank trim or maybe cap?

Mine doesnt have one, the ashtray and lighter were replaced by storage areas etc. Not sure if it was an option. I have the power socket and cover instead too

Here are a couple of pictures of the 12v socket with the cover in my A3. It came as standard as I ordered it with the 'no smoking pack' but the parts can be ordered through a dealer.
Found this thread too which was great help!

when you close the cover the torch goes under the cover. it's a mechanism that lowers it inside and under the cover.
see attached.
so the torch can be pushed down to be hidden under the cover? how does that work? im tempted to get one if thats the case..

Get someone else to do it

That looks like the same part/mechanism as in the A4?
