Car holder

[ID64]

After looking arrounf the net for a good car holder for a while I've decided to make one myself. I was thinking about something not bulky, ability to securely hold the iMATE, integrated power connector, easy access, color match to my interior, and yeah, did I mentioned NOT BULKY? :)

So, I took my old car holder for my Sony Ericsson phone (RIP) Replaced the bottom connector with modified and hacked XDA2, painted front plate of the color to silver, attached to the back vent hooks from my another car holder for my iPAQ (RIP). I am pleased with the result :) Here are some pics of it. Lemme know whaddya think

Looks really neat ID64 :) I like the simple clean concepts with most of the XDA II exposed. Great stuff. I think you could also use a windscreen mount with the same setup.

I recently bought an integrated kit from Thailand for my unit but am waiting on my reloaction to Australia later this month before fitting it to whatever car I buy in Sydney.

Since you like tinkering in hardware, think you could do anything with this idea? http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8517&highlight=back

That sir is a bloody superb creation, small, neat and looks like it was designed for the XDAII :)

Fantastic job ID64, i have one of them brackets lying around somewhere and will give that a try too, but i dont think it will come out looking quite as professional as yours. What are weekends for? DIY. Dont think the wife is gonna be to pleased though, she wants me to decorate the bedroom. I dont think so!!!

Forget the holder, thats a nice car! VR6? What the dial next to the side mirror?

Anyway, will the holder keep the XDA tightly while going round the corner at 50 mph?

Forgot to say, dig the shades on the dashboard

Thanks :) This is Jetta/Bora 1.8T, Wolfsburg Edition. Dial you're reffering to is a boost gauge.

Havent measure it yet, but it's bloody fast with REVO chip, Magnaflow exhaust, Bailey DV, N75J, K&N drop in etc ;)

I am afraid, that we are going to be flamed now for OT ;) Let's move to VW forum on Vortex or www.club18t.com
