I am in the process of patenting this hands-free kit.
- Compatible with any phone.
- Your phone will never fall on the floor again.
- Keeps your ear warm in winter.
- Can easily hold your private phone on one side and your business phone on the other side.
- The kits will come in many colours including velocity red, winning blue, etc.

 

Ahh the eternal problem of where to out the cell phone....I bought one of those jelly sticky pads and placed it on top of the dash, right in the middle, above the radio display. Works great, clings tight to the dash contour, and holds my cell phone at the right angle in case I get an incoming call. Works for sunglasses as well. Best $5.00 I ever spent. I've seen them at Radio Shack, Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, etc..

garyna, good idea. hmmmm maybe if you cut one the size of the ash tray lid, you could turn the phone sideways and place it there......

 

I'm sure that would work. I actually bought another one and cut it to fit in the little ledge whenever I'm using the nav system / screen.

Here's another option: this company makes sticky stuff you actually apply on your phone. Haven't used it, just an fyi.

I saw a slick looking non-damaging holder in the audio / electronics area on the forum. The company's in England, and if they don't make a specific phone holder that attaches to the dashmount, I'm sure fab'ing your own can't be that hard.

I was thinking about it for an ipod mount, but it'd certainly work great for a cell.

 

wow, way too pricey for my blood

 

where is the 2nd power supply cause i thin the left mine out i only have the cig lighter

 

i put mine in the glasses compartment, along with the garage door opener.

 

The best place for a cell phone is in your pocket with the power off - in my opinion.

I wish someone started a campaign like Drink Driving Kills - maybe Blabbing Drivers Kill!

 

Most places have enacted, or are about to enact, laws that require that a cell phone be operated hands free.

I don't know about everyone else here, but I think any activity for which the state has the presence of mind to mandate the use of both hands, should involve your brain as well.

I personally advocate euthanasia for all drivers that use communication devices while driving, but that is just me.

 

there's a few good ideas in here as well, i have pictures up of the system i got:

I personally do not see a problem with people talking on the phone while driving...what are they going to next, tell you that you cant talk to any passengers in your car?? Cmon guys, this is rediculus.

 

I had the exact same problem, no place to put a phone or my toll transponder. If i can get my digital camera back from my friend I'd post a pic. I just got my car in January and I got the survey today. Then in my satisfaction survey is this thin foam like pad. Has the Mazda logo on it and everything. I don't have a NAV, so i just place it in that spot. No glue no tape nothing, it just grips on by gravity, and it doesn't move, not even on sharp turns. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
