pretty decent mount from Ebay...

I just got this and it's pretty good...

Perfect reach...close to the shifter...

Only issue is that you will have to put it landscape when charging because you will hit it...(not an issue for me since I use Aux in and don't charge while driving)

What a great find, especially with the R56 disc player having great negative space around it. Man, what a neat mounting concept. May need to grab one...

Can you measure the smallest size it will clamp down to? Also the distance it sits from the mount. *how far it sticks out

I am looking to get a better place for my scangauge and this will help me figure out if it will help out.

I think a scanguage is thinner than that, but I can always make a spacer out of something.

The web site says they are mostly unavailable, or sold out for now. Anyone tried to order one recently? It looks like a good solution for using my iPhone as my GPS.

I ordered mine today, It says that if they can't fill the order by 4/20 they will refund the amount. Let you know what happens.

I bought the mount and got it last week. I like the location however the XM radio I bought will not fit properly in the mount.

I paid $20 bucks for it and will sell it for $10 plus shipping. It hs a small scuff [no visible when mounted in the CD slot] from inserting it into the CD slot other than that it was never used. I'd rather do a cash transaction instead of Paypal because of the fee. If anyone is interested, PM me and we can work out the transaction.
