Re: Cup holders in my Convertible!

Nice. Would you have a link or an item description for amazon?
Did you drill them Into the plastics so they are secure?

I thought about putting one of them in my car but I'm very **** about drilling any unnecessary holes in my car.

Re: Cup holders in my Convertible!

I went there today and didn't find any. I am in Canada so maybe we don't have them.
I'll check early this week and get customer service to check that part number.
Thanks

Ah, yes, my greatest modernization modification (modernification)!

It's my iPhone holder/charger. They're not cheap but they are the best. It mount easily and perfectly right onto the dash pod.

http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-hold..._leftorright=0

I moved the cig lighter receptacle and 12V iphone charger back into the dash hole and hooked up the cord. I taped it up so that it wouldn't come apart and rattle around.

I needed to do this since the charger and cord stick out too far from the dash-pod surface to let the phone mount angle correctly. Pretty simple.

Phone snaps right in and charges. Keeps my nav and my tunes right in front of me.

I use it with a Kinivo Bluetooth Audio - Hands-Free phone module that is plugged into my aux in on my car head unit. (kinivo: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I can make calls through the car audio system and play music from the phone and never touch the head unit except for volume.

The only mod I needed was to make the 12V cig lighter come on only with the key on or in accessory, not on all the time like stock. It's a simple mod that requires only a $6 standard 12V relay from auto parts stores.

The reason I needed this was because the Kinivo will hook to the phone bluetooth anytime it is on and within range. I only wanted the Kinivo to hook to the phone when the car is on.
