Phone Holder DIY



Over the weekend I DIY the phone holder for my N82.
Item used: Recycle Gauge stand (former Oil press gauge stand), Phone hard cover (buy from Yik Fong) and double side tape. This stand is quite sturdy and i think your phone will not fall down (Like TK's phone :)... Just Joking). If you want to mount it on the dash, stick the gauge stand on the dash and then only stick the plasticd hard cover to ensure your phone is straight. Make sure you cover the plastic from direct sunlight else it will melt.





Fold Down when not using GPS. (Can place phone on it when using loudspeaker).














Fold Up when using GPS. (Need to use Allen Key to release and tighten the gauge holder screw).

Wah..phone holder also can DIY. Really DIY king la. Haha.

It is dangerous to use the GPS mounted at the meter panel area. You should mount it almost the same height of your eyes while you looking at the front road.

Normally, I'll mount it at the center of the dashboard (at the top) so that I can have a glance to the GPS and at the same time, my view of the road won't be disturbed too much.

You purposely block the view of your meter ah? Haha..i know you don't have to look at the speed. Hahaha...

He he he.... Relax.
The GPS is voice nagivated so most of the time i just listen and seldom see the map unless necessary. You will need to have a good holder to ensyre your gps is not sliding around in the car else the direction will be lost and it will"Re-calculating.... Re-calculating.... Re-calculating" till reach home.
When you buy GPS make sure you get the voice navigated units.
