Try colonoscopy tool. Flexible snake with lighted camera and a tool for removing obstructions. Like plumbers use to scope out drains

I love the idea of the plumber type tool! However, I dont really have one around myself. This may sound silly n simple…You’ve tried a coat hanger, but how about some bubble gum on the end? chew the crap out of it really quick so it gets solid, but not too long to get the sweet-sticky out of it. It n…

The E36 seat is very easily removed. You need a metric socket set and about 30 minutes. Disconnect the car’s battery first (in the trunk), to avoid airbag lights. Loosen the 4 large bolts at the base of the passenger seat and remove it from the car. Then you’ll have full access to the air duct an…

Several tool makers (DeWalt, Milwaukee, General) make scopes with a 4’ reach for under $200 new. It’s a handy tool to have anyway. A actual plumbers scope is a bit overboard, and would be pricey to hire the plumber or rent one. He might be able to rent one of the 4" units, or post on a site like C…

I also had the idea of the inspection camera after having seen one in use recently by my plumber. You can find an inexpensive setup via USB connection to a Notebook PC for about $70 on “amizone”. A second idea similar to the bubblegum on a stick is to but a Velcro tape setup that has both side in t…

mrbeel beat me to the punch but a powerful shopvac with a narrow nozzle on the end. Do Not go to a commercial car wash if you want your phone back.

Try the vacuum method and get some vinyl tube from Home Depot or Lowes and duct tape them together to reduce the hose diameter. Stuff some rags to close the other vents on the duct to obtain more suction. Another option is to secure double sided tape to your flexible “claw” and carefully guide it t…

Don’t tear up your car. Get a new cell phone. Your company plan may even give you one. And don’t worry about unnecessary phone rings. How long will that battery last?

You simply take the seat out to get to it. Four bolts and a couple connectors for heaven’s sake. The guy is an engineer. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. I guess first I’d try a piece of Romex that would be a little thicker than a coat hanger to nudge it out, but really, I used to pull seats out jus…

Try a good magnet. The phone might have enough metal in it to catch on to it.
