Phone Holder and Charging Station

I initially tried a variety of different phone holders, in different locations, but I wasn't happy with any of them.

I made a cardboard template of a small platform to hold my phone below the radio controls, but above the heat vents. I started with a large platform, with 3 cupholder slots on the end. When testing, I bashed my arm on it when switching gears, and the whole thing had to be removed to move from the driver's seat into the back of the van. I cut off the cupholders, and trimmed away until I was happy with the size and shape. Then Dwayne built a wooden version, which I covered with contact paper.

It's held in place by a wooden block wedged into a small storage slot in the dashboard.

I added a multi head cigarette lighter power adapter, and created a charging station for small accessories. A car seat side organizer hangs to the passenger side of the dash to hold battery packs, lights, etc, while charging.

Finally, a clip on phone holder, which Dwayne screwed in place, holds my phone at just the right height and angle for GPS navigation.
