Default How-To: Cheap Phone mount

http://lifehacker.com/5747897/how-to...ffice-supplies

I am currently using this mounted to the door (while open) that covers the AUX input. I use an after market radio with USB input and have the USB port mounted where the RCA's were so it's a perfect fit. I will get pictures later today and get those posted. I will be purchasing a Kiwi soon as well and cant wait to fully integrate the iPhone with my Ralliart.

Clever, but

1) those things pinch pretty hard and
2) with only 1 attach point, you're putting an aweful lot of weight/strain on only one fin of your vent. This might cause it to break depending on how stiff your ride is and how heavy your phone is.

cheap + fast = not good
good + cheap = not fast
fast + good = not cheap

That's what I thought too, why I recommended otherwise.

Pic as promised.

Think I paid $15 at Target, works great, holds the phone well.

I looked around and tried of few of my friends devices, but was not happy with how bulky they were and losing a lighter socket was out of the question. Mine was free and even doubles as a stand at the desk!

I liked the glass mounted ones the best, but hated having my USB cable stretched all the way from the AUX input to the windshield.
