Where do you stick your dragy?

- Where's a good place in a w205 to get best satellite reception?
- Any concerns about sticking a little magnet near electronic systems?
- Any problems with the sticky material from the magnet leaving residue, or outright ruining, the vinyl or leather or wood?

Thanks!

I stuck the metal backing to the top of the coin holder/ashtray in the center console in front of the two cup holders.

So, like this? Seems like a great solution.

Mine is actually mounted in front of the cup holders (front meaning the when sitting in the driver’s seat and facing the front of the car). I will snap a picture when I drive home from work later today.

Actually, I guess you meant this. I'll give it a try this weekend.

If you align the led facing forward, you can just about get it to friction fit perfectly in one of the cup holders. I usually do this to avoid having to mount anything and it stays very still while having good satellites.

I've noticed the main thing with dragy is that you need to ensure it is well charged, since it seems to be on at all times broadcasting the Bluetooth signal and draining power. Really wish it just had a power switch since I'm not using it all the time.
