1. IF YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR AT HIGH SPEED HEAD ON INTO A WALL OR HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE YOU WON'T CARE IF YOU LEFT YOUR NOTE 10+ IN THE HANDLE SLOT. So, because of my professional experience I'll take my chances.

I realize you're trying to be funny, but have you ever been in a crash when your airbag deploys? The airbag itself can hurt enough, but imagine even a small piece of plastic (much less a substantial cell phone) smashing you in the face at over 15 miles per second before the airbag even makes contact with you. (This is for your passenger, obviously with this tray.)

I was looking for something "secure" for phones and I came across https://www.carolinametalmasters.co...cts/cmm-jl-lower-handle-1-ball-mount-solution
I think this will be my solution

Ok, it's going to be returned, definitely not worth any chance of become an accessory to injury (or worse). Thanks for all the replies!

Cool, cool. I just put my phone away when I'm in the car. I don't know. Old-school, paranoid, whatever. Not much of a phone person anyway.

I realize you're trying to be funny, but, yes, I was in an accident that resulted in a double fatality in 1969. I was a passenger in a 1964 Chevy Nova that hit a 1969 Olds Cutless broadside at 70mph. I was in the front passenger seat and suffered substantial injuries that I still deal with. No seatbelts. I wish we all had an airbag with a phone in front of it back then. It sucks when you break your windshield from the inside.
I never said the Death Plastic was safe or unsafe. Since my wife and I have free will and each use the passenger seat we decided to leave the Death Plastic in our Jeep. Our 2 rescue doggos dont have free will so they are seat belted in the back in case of an airbag deployment. We also ride motorcycles (you can die on those!!!) and both keep our 1911's cocked and locked. Life is full of risks. In my post I said I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES. Do what YOU gotta do.

I only use it for GPS. If I knew then what I do now, I would have at least ordered the 7" Uconnect instead of the basic 5"

What about the Gibson Leather @Blkjak saddle bag? Sorry, but I can't find the link atm. But I really like those and will pick one up later

Edit: found it

That’s exactly where I drop little things like parking receipts and change.

Lol I don't have any GPS stuff. I have a 256mb phone plan haha I still print directions at home if I'm going somewhere I'm not familiar with.

I also have the smallest Uconnect. Plays the radio and that's about all I need/want haha

I'm not anti-tech in general, though. I build my own computers and I've always been fascinated with machines. I just don't like the "always-connected" world we're living in now, and cell phone were the first big step in that direction. Now they want to sell me "smart" thermostats, fridges, microwaves...lol

The passenger airbag will deploy over the handle and keep anything in the bin from going towards the occupant. I would be OK with it as long as you don't put anything ridiculous in it.

Don't put something in it that sticks above the handle.

And I seen people put cell phones in there bad idea

 

[Notsew]

I wouldn't put a phone or anything else that goes above in there so I got this instead.

Question - So how exactly does the airbag deploy? The passenger side piece is a solid piece of plastic. Does it break the plastic when it deploys, or it is actually coming out under the plastic piece? There’s no hole in the middle of it… what would prevent small deadly shards of broken plastic from being shot out at the passenger?
Could someone please test this in person with a slow motion camera on their own rig and post the video of passenger airbag deploy ?

I couldn't help but think of this when I saw this thread.
