Perfect place for iPhone (also works great for Dynolicious)

I took the ashtray out of my ashtray area, so now its big and open. Lock (the button on top) your iPhone and then put it in the ashtray area so that it would be readable to you. You need to fidget with it a little to get it in, but its a perfect fit. And if you have bluetooth in the car you can easily close the ashtray door and keep the clean look. You can also fully access the buttons for the Dynolicious App and the ashtray keeps it in perfect place and aiming forward. I'll try to post pics later if my description sucked

I had to take the pic with my iPhone. Lol. Imagine the paper is the iPhone and make sure you take out the ashtray. Sorry about the half a$$ job, I'll post a real pic with the phone in place later tonight. But I really love the placement. It works great and it will work even better for people with bluetooth.

Un deployed cup holder? I have the roll back armrest, I think you're talking about the "butterfly" opening armrest. This works great if you have bluetooth and it works very well for Dynolicious.

I knew what you are talking about. I've been doing it since day 1.

I throw a lot of things in there now. I'm going to see if I can trace the bottom and cut out of peice of black felt to lay down there so I don't scrath up the bottom.

The bottom of mine doesnt even touch the bottom of the ashtray... Idk, maybe we're putting it in differently cause the way mine's fitting it wouldnt make sense to do that black felt thing.
