Brodit is expensive. I stumbled across this. Anyone got a 3D printer? :)

On the subject of 'mounted phones'.
In London the kids drive up either side of you on scooter, the passenger side distracts the driver, the drivers side grab the blower.
Job done and off to sell it for a chunk of crack!

Thats if your windows down of course.

That's London for you though.

Recall this set up was suitable for cup holders but could be adapted for mobiles?

Possibly an expensive optional extra though.

Pictures as requested. I have mounted both ways on occasion to higher/lower the phone. You can't use the CD player and buttons to radio can be an issue. However, normally I use the Grom so doesn't matter. Most of time I don't use anyway, only long journey/when in need of sat nav.

The booby cup holder. Maybe a bit too distracting? Keeps the coffee warm though.
