Default Mounting a device to the dash with Pugoo

Hi, I just thought I would share what I have been up to.
Ever since I had decided the Mondeo is the car for me I had also decided that the blank triangular inserts in the dash was the perfect spot to mount my phone. I didn't really want anything permanent or damaging but just a way to stick my phone there.

A few weeks ago (completely randomly) i was linked to this stuff Pugoo. Think of it as an adult strength version of those sticky hands kids get in showbags. The type that they can stretch out stick to walls/things for hours of fun. It leaves no trace when removed and for $10 shipped from the USA is not a bad investment. (no I am not being paid to post this :-P)

Cut to the chase, I have cut off a strip and stuck it to the dash. The phone sticks there solid until I want it to let go. It is easily within reach of the driver and only ever so slightly obscured by the steering wheel. To clean it just wash in warm water and it comes like new.






The last one pretty much shows the obscuration of the steering wheel.

I have not gone on a really bumpy road but am pretty happy with the results for a $10 outlay. I still have plenty more to use for other things.

It's where the POWAR! button goes in the Titanium's. I accidentally pulled the triangle bit out whilst testing and there is just a hole behind it.

Wouldn't be an airbag there, wouldn't be much point in it. Besides, all airbag covers have the warning symbol on them so you know where they are.

Not a half bad idea though, I've been toying with the idea of some sort of holder for my phone pretty much purely to be able to make use of its GPS abilities.
