    This is the second place of mounted my phone I'm going to include pictures so you know what I'm talking about one of them shows the last spot that didn't work as well this one's much better because it's bolted down good instead of being bolted to just the plastic. I had to Mark a spot and then I cut it with a hot razor knife and then I ended up melting the plastic from the inside and shoving the metal Mount through it's on the passenger side now seems like it's going to be the s*** I use my Android head unit and the phone for a hotspot a lot so I can listen and watch YouTube while I'm working Android head units are awesome from China I got hizpo 8gb ram 130 gb. It's faster than a phone I got but that's another post enjoy... 20250325_204231.jpg 20250325_204236.jpg 20250325_204242.jpg 20250325_204248.jpg 20250325_204311.jpg

    You ripped out that much plastic just to install a phone mount? Tell me you have the limited 24 karat gold iPhone edition.

    Budget Samsung, legit Obama fone. You wouldn't believe how many times I have taken those plastic fantastic Lego Tupperwares apart. Actually sprayed both sides of a cup holders with bed liner to keep them from rattling so damn much and on any given day I've got what sounds like a chicken a monkey or a turkey in the back of the car from the plastic tray back there rattleing around I reckon. Cant have it all i guess. Still the best car ive ever owned. Just passed 200,000 and nothing to do but oil changes for a while.
