Anyone know the best, and by best, I mean cheapest :) place to get the above from? Now that I\'m finally looking at putting a stereo in the car, there won\'t be a hole to rest it in anymore - not that I could exactly see what the readings were with it in there anyway :)

Cheers

rMagic holders look great, just look like part of the dash - but not cheap £50+   :o   Newera and ReWorx do them I think.  Before that I had a mobile phone holder - does the job but looks a bit messy.

I got a classy mobile phone holder for £2, same colour as the pfc and holds it very well.  Can hardly even see the holder behind it!  :cheers

Know where from and what type?

£50+ is what I\'d heard for the proper jobbies - a lot of money or a bit of plastic ;)

Was hoping someone would tell me so and so sells an imitation for £20 :)

I think I\'ll keep mine in the glove box. R-Magic holders are nice though.

I just made a holder for mine.It bolts onto one of the dash mountings under the gear box centre consol,so no drilling involved. One strip of sheet ali,some double sided velcro and a squirt of matt black spray paint. Sorted!! Can take some pics tomorrow and post them for you????

I keep mine in the glovebox as well. Don\'t want to give any little thieving gits an excuse to smash my windows.

Yeah, go for it if its no bother - thanks.

Good thing about the holder is I can take it out and put it in the glove box. More useful to be able to see it whilst driving to monitor water temp and such.

I got an adjustable mobile holder from Halfrauds. Cost a couple of quid and does the job admirably/

Lately i\'ve been doing what somebody on here suggested which was to hang the PFC next to the cig lighter and console, amazingly holds the PFC just right dont fall or anything ???

Otherwise had a phone holder doing the job, only prob was everytime we hit some serious boost off fell the phone holder  :rollin  :rollin  :rollin

I don\'t really like the Commander, so I figured I needed a way of plugging and unplugging it, so today,I fitted an extension cable for it.

Basically its just a keyboard/mouse extension cable that I\'ve put under the dash so now the port for plugging in the commander is just under the dimmer switch for the dials by the radio.

Generally, I just rest the Commander on the cigar lighter when I want to use it.

But I really like the R-Magic holder, it looks like it holds it in the perfect position, but what I want to know is if it will hold a Motorola Razr, its slightly larger than the bottom bit of the commander...

it would probsbly make it the world\'s most expensive mobile phone holder though... :)

Hi.
Sorry this is late,but been busy with other things until now. As you can see,it couldn\'t be simpler or cheaper. Involves no drilling into dash or unsightly phone holder.The metal strip can be angled directly at the driver.The unit can be taken off and put in the glove box out of sight when needed. The only mod you have to do is cut away some plastic on the underneath of the centre consol,where the strip goes through the gap,but that doesn\'t show.Hope this helps.

That looks great.  Does it wobble or vibrate much?  (kicking self for paying £50 for a b!oody holder now)
