Disappearing Phone and GPS holder..(version 2)...>

btw, i only removed the shift trim and the decorative kick plate thingie in order to hardwire it to the 12v power socket wiring. i made a 1/2" hole in the cubby and snaked the wire through. finished off the hole with a grommet and black EZ felt for a OEM look.

didnt remove the entire cubby out... that would be too much work.

Hey Kenchen I can't seem to privately message you so I'm going to post this here, what are the parts needed to make this holder? Can you do a quick DIY or maybe just explain it to me because I bought a Garmin and like the idea of this mod.

hey jake- yah, ive turned off PM cause i get too many newb crybabies sending me waaaa waaaa messages when i post some joke about them.

as for the bracket you can basically use any metal strip and bend it into shape. I used a small hinge like the one modshack used (can be had at art stores) and a tapping screw.

For the ball joint i cut off the arm from the garmin suction cup holder and screwed 3-4 small tapping screws throught the bracket. i think amazon sells just the ball joint with adhesive so you might want to run a search over there. the joint is pretty tight so you'll probably need to reinforce the adhesive with screws.

at the end i wrapped the bracket with DiNoc CF wrap. looks very clean.

GL!
