Great idea and execution, and it really should've come like this for non-touring models.
My arm brushes it a little bit in 5th and 6th but not enough to affect shifting. I think it got in the way more sitting in the cup holder.

Nice idea. I mount my phone up on the vent by the headunit but a little storage space there could be useful for sure.

That looks great! May I add to it? Can one of you add 3 USB ports? We can attached USB hub inside and use it to charge the phone and connect it to a head unit if you have one that supports it.

I was thinking of a Hardwired Docking station! Just drop-in phone to charge and play, cordless.

I'm not sure what you are asking?

The hole stays open, like pictures show.

It's a custom made slot/cup from plastic, using 3D printer. Hope that helps?

This would be awesome... I wonder if my iPhone 7 plus would fit... It seems that the regular iPhone is tight the way it is.

Dang... I just looked it up, 77.9 to be exact. 4mm is a lot.... maybe it wouldn't look too bad diagonally in the opening???

The width is 77.2 mm barely too small. You could probably put it in at an angle

It would probably face you (driver) better at an angle.
