I just figured this out the other day after looking for a way to mount my iPhone in a convenient location. It took scratching my wife's iphone case and a $7 gamble, but it works great. You buy this case: iPhone 5C Case, DaswiseŽ the Beat Series Hard Clear Back Cover Snap on Case for iPhone 5C+ Screen Protector (Zagz 2):Amazon:Cell Phones & Accessories And this phone holder: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MOW...528360_TE_dp_1 Put the case in with the flat side out and on the bottom, just push the holder on the flat part. My tape adapter (06) still works, no grinding. I used an old metal iPhone 4 case at first and it would make the tape player flip sides once and a while, so I recommend the plastic case.

 

thats cool, mcguyver would be proud

lol

 

I have the one where it slips into the CD player, since i don't use CD's anymore..

but that's a cool way of doin it too if you're still using CDs

 

OMG i want please tell me!!! I hate looking at that damn tape insert thing


edit: just actually read your post lol. I got excited haha

 

Honestly, I don't like to see anything aftermarket on my dash or something that covers anything on the dash... I also hate to see any wires so when I connect my phone to AUX here is how I do it:

I have this hidden under the armrest storage and I am wire free when listening to the music yay. Makes me feel cool when I grab the phone to change the song and there is actually no wires attached - But that's only my preference!

 

Do you have to do anything to it when you get in/out of the car. For example, if you have the power hooked up to mini-usb lighter adapter in the center armrest storage, do you ever have to touch anything in there? Does it power on/off when you turn on/off car, etc..?

 

I also hate wires, but I don't have an aux port. I bought a fm transmitter/bluetooth receiver, but haven't received it yet. I am hoping I can stash it away in the console and have no wires. We'll see how it goes.

 

I'm intrigued by this. Wonder if it would work with my Note 4.

 

I just need to lift up the armrest, hold the power button for 3 sec and that's it. It connects automatically to the phone. I only plug it in to the lighter when the battery is low. It really has a good battery life for such a small and cheap device

 

sound quality is the sacrifice

 

i plan to try this out ill let you guys know if it works

 

I bought this Kinivo BT receiver. As far as getting an AUX into the vehicle for those who don't have one, it's actually pretty inexpensive to do i think.

Amazing plug and play solution especially if you play music off of your phone, because it also acts as a hands-free phone mic. For me it was great because my HFL was already broken when I purchased the car. Automatically connects when turning on the vehicle, and you can have preferences on your phone that can auto-play music when connecting to bluetooth, etc.

Edit: What is robot check? o_O

 

Very cool, and yea Goose is right, covering the cassette slot is a bonus.

 

Is it rechargable or regular batteries? The one I have for $16 is rechargable so I don't need to worry about replacing batteries every 6-7 hours...

 

not battery powered - you plug it into the DC power in your arm rest and never need to touch it

 

Highly recommend any of the Oso mounts.

Friend recommend them, had one in my old car. They claim their suction cup is the best in the world and I believe them. Company is in the UK, but shipping is quite reasonable to NA.
