mabey my phone (nokio 8290 the small blue one) doesn't fall throught because i have a leather case over it. Maybe you should get a $10 leather case instead of a tacky (no ofence)phone holder.

Same exact thing. It doesn't slide out no matter how fast you turn. Works really great.

cell phone magnet

i got a present from one of my friends.. its a magnet made to stick to a surface and your cellphone sticks to it .. its circular, black and about 1.25 inches in diameter.

i stuck it on the dash beside the steering column.. you dont even notice it, so its not an eyesore... but you could mount it wherever the hell you wanted.

i have a nokia 8360, and every phone i've tried on it works like a charm, and it sticks like no tomorrow... plus it DOES work with .. ahem.. aggressive driving.

the magnet doesn't damage anything or scramble any memory or anything like that.

it cost 7 dollars canadian and he found it at A&B Sound.. but im sure you can find them anywhere if you look in the appropriate places.

it would be cool to make some kind of leather pouch that fits between the driver's seat and console & hooks onto the console lip

Unhooked Connections

Mine was bought used and has some terminated and unused couplings... I have no photos but one of these is in the flip up glove box console. I thought it was for an earlier styled cell phone, but maybe you guys can offer some insight. Is there normally a hook up in here I don't know?
Being a convertible, I can see some electrics not being used (interior lighting is limited to dash, so I carry two flashlights!!)
There is a round circle cut at the back where the cable(s) enter.

ODD
