Better use of your ashtray ($20)

Better use of your ashtray ($20)
So I originally was going to try this as an experiment but I like it so much I am keeping it. My idea was to glue a phone holder to the inside of the ashtray insert to hold my phone. But no glue is needed. It is actually a very convenient place to have your phone both visually and practically. I should've taken a few pics of my fumbling with it, but I place my wrist on the center console to steady my hand and make selections.
Steps
Bought this
Took it apart by unscrewing it and then dremeled the sides down so that it would fit in the ashtray.
Don't have to glue it (in case you need an ashtray later?) and there is a charging plug right there if you need it.

I just got sick of a)My phone flopping around in the holder and b)not being able to easily see WAZE or change a song.

I actually plan to run a wire discretely and even avoid using the cigarette lighter outlet. I'd like it all behind the scenes.

6MT doesnt need this :-D
The indentation in the ashtray/center console assembly fits my phone with perfection. I can corner as HARD as I want and nothing moves

Same for me. My Galaxy S5 fits in that space even with aggressive shifting and hard cornering and now mount needed! Just leave the ashtray cover closed.
My phone is in a case that probably helps it stay put as well, but no issues.
