new CD-slot mount for your phone/tablet - Mountek nGroove Snap

It looks like this mount would fit in the E55 pretty nicely and shouldn't block the view of things...




Mountek nGroove Snap $29.95

anyone have this?

Looks to me like it would partially block the view of the radio display but not the toad pic on the phone.

Nope...still looks like a disgusting PepBoys item to me.

What's to keep the CD loader from constantly trying to suck something in?

I was thinking sideways it would be up out of the way

I think the sensor is in the middle of the slot - the carrier on this mount has the inserts on the side - so the CD player has no idea there's anything mounted... ?

regor60, I tried installing the Mountek but the big screw stuck out too much and kept hitting the radio on/off button. What did you do to get it to fit properly? Do you have pictures?

I have the mountek unit, works great. I am actually going to make an ipad mount for it and mount my ipad over my command screen. It also works great at the top of the dash on prefacelifted interiors that have the vent on top of the dash in stead of the speaker mesh. Have one running waze, music and entertainment have the other running Dash command...

also if you rotate the phone so its landscape, it doesn't block the screen in the least bit

Amen.


I'm always mystified by people willing to cobble crap like this to a nice car...... Why not just mount the bracket to the dash directly with a couple of large sheetmetal screws and a few blobs of black RTV instead!!!

Just as 85% of the population claims to be "above average" drivers, I expect a similar percentage of people think they have a good sense of style.

LOL its a different thumb screw in reality, and the piece is actually removable in 30seconds or less.

I also have a CB radio installed as well
