Simple phone holder idea.

[Deuce]

What I don't want in a car phone holder is something that falls off the windscreen on hot days, or even on the windscreen blocking vision at all. 

Or, something that has to be glued to the dash, or blocks the air vents or any knobs or data displays.

So I made a bracket that fits in the gap between the wood dash panel and the dash behind it. An L shaped bracket would be best but I had an old fence panel holder lying around. I covered it in vinyl to look better than plain galavanised steel. To this I stuck the sticky base for the phone holder and used the strong suction of the holder to attach to that. 20 minute job.

i also fitted a dual USB port that pushes flush into the cigarette lighter socket. I can now charge the phone, connect it to the AUX input on the head unit and use the sat nav APP through the sound system. I don't use the Mig for work so wont use the phone as a phone but I think it will work ok as hands free when the sound comes through the sound system.

















The reason I bought the vinyl, was to cover the front door cupboard front panel because it scratches really easily. Covering was easy assisted by a hot air gun.

Door cupboard looks exceptionally tidy. Good job by the looks.

Good idea looks well, I used that vinyl stuff before to cover 2 wing mirrors that got busted, looks good and really easy to work with.

Brilliant Idea! Might have to do something similar myself.

Cheers guys.

The vinyl is off Ebay. As far as I know it's standard sticky back stuff. There were bubbles but easily dealt with by popping with a small hobby knife and rubbing finger over. Edges formed nicely with care using a hot air gun to soften and then shape nicely around edges and corners by hand.
