I'm sure this isn't an original idea but I still wanted to share. I always wanted a holder for my PFC commander but I didn't want to drill holes in the console, etc for the metal version. Instead, I got a GPS/cell phone holder at Walmart tonight and installed it.

Here's my deal... I like to install mods that can be returned to stock and I'll do anything to avoid drilling holes in panels. Hell, even my Apexi AVC-R is mounted with 3M tape and velcro so I can take it off the dash. It only takes 3M adhesive cleaner to remove the glue.

Unlike the metal holder... I can place the GPS/cell phone holder on any dash vent or directly mount to a flat surface with extra hardware. Plus the holder can be rotated 360 degrees and has two ways to grip a device as the pic demonstrates. Also, I can move the holder between cars. Pretty versatile for $14 when compared to the ugly metal version that is permanently mounted.

Enjoy...

 

very nice, mine sadly already has holes, lol

 

Looks like I'm making a trip to WalMart for that ****!

 

i still have yet to find something that hides the commander. its an ugly looking thing

 

i did the same thing, much much cheap but jsut as effective then the metal holder.

 

i've Seen someone hollow out the ash tray and put it in there.

 

Looks good. I was just fiddling with mine last night to see if I could make the metal one work. It just looked terrible any which way. Plus, I'm not a fan of the sandpaper finish of the holder scraping the back of the commander all the time.

 

ive seen that too..but i dont completely like the looks of that either =/

 

Not exactly the best place for viewing. It's like the exhaust overheat warning light flash for the PFC. You probably want these things in places you can see easily.

 

Nice cheap mod! Just the way I like 'em!

 

I modified a Gotham holder to mount mine:



Visibility is good from the driving position:

 

Nice boost gauge

 

Ditto.

 

Is it for a specific model of GPS unit or is it a generic holder....
Going to hit WalMart tonight...

Thanks for the tip....

 

yea knowing the brand would really help. i dont want to make the trip for nothing.

 

If you look at the pictures, you'll notice it says "Scosche".

 

I made my own a while back. The pictures I posted in my thread seem to have disappeared. I put another coat of paint on it before installation. The commander is velcro'd to the mount, so I can move it around a little bit.

 

dang..thats like perfect positioning. def what im doing.

 

i just went out and bought one and installed it it took 2 minutes and works and looks great.

I hope these pics help everyone out.

Thanks for the extra pics!

 

no problem

 

Well I'm glad if I helped anybody out. That brand was the only one I saw at Walmart. They had another model that allowed you to suction cup it to the window with a very long bendable rod but I don't think it looked very clean.

You know how it is... go with what YOU like. I really like the model I picked up since it can hold the commander two different ways and rotates. Another hint... you can raise or lower more based on the vent louver you select.

I did my 28 mile round trip to work today and it was so easy to glance over and view the read out. The read out size is fine using a 4 channel or less display. I haven't tried to read it with an 8 channel display but then again... that's too much info for me.

 

No prob... the pics RX7 Racer09 put up are a nice add but to answer the question.. it's a generic holder for most GPS and cell phone units. It even has swivel arms so you can create an adjustable support base.

 

very nice! I might as well get myself one =)

 

Looks like a trip to Wal-Mart is in my future.
