I made a prototype of a mount for a Tomtom V2 GPS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w-1gilNCyA There are a few details that still need to be fixed, but I am very happy with the design and the dash integration. This is 3D printed and can be painted in black.

You might consider that many phones are in cases. I like this idea but need a wide top and bottom mount to fit the phone and case. My iphone and case measure 14mm thick. Also, On hard accelleration has your mount slipped out some? Can you add a catch like the ashtray to keep it in place?
Keep us posted. I'll take one if it fits the phone when ready. Good idea! |

I'll take one if it fits the phone when ready. Good idea! The mont is 10mm and was designed to fit smartphones without case. It can accept from the small i-phone (7,6mm) to the large Galaxy (9,4mm). If there is a demand, I can design a second mount with larger grips. I haven't had any trouble with the mount slipping out on acceleration. The fit is tight and the weight of the GPS is not enough.  |
