Made a holder for my phone
Every time I drive the Crossfire I put my phone in the passenger seat or in my pocket. There isn’t a good place to set it unless you stick something to the windshield (don’t like that because it is a small windshield and most mounts are a bit bulky) or stick something to the dash (I don’t want stick anything on the dash). So I was driving the other day and found I could set the phone on the top edge of the shifter boot (6 speed 2004 NA) and the plug in the power outlet keeps it from sliding to the right, nothing prevents it from sliding to the left. I tried it for that day and it was fine as long as I didn’t accelerate too much or make a hard right.
So I thought that if I had something simple and slim that I could set the phone in that could grab on something to stabilize it all, that would be the ticket. I modeled a slotted carrier that uses the power plug (I always have a radar detector plugged in) and sits on the top edge of the shifter boot. I 3D printed it and found I needed to reduce the thickness of the section that the plug goes through. Here are some pictures of the first one. My phone is an iPhone X with a Quadlock case. It works pretty well and isn’t too obnoxious. Just an idea for those of you that have modeling software and access to a 3D printer, or you are a good whittler.
