Fantastic, thank you very much. This now seems very doable.
Having that media door wedged open doesn't annoy you? That's what I'm trying to solution.I went a little different direction. I widened the hole in the small coin stash cubby under the parking break with a drill (located under the rubber pad).
Then I fished the cable from underneath the plastic trim and ran it under the edge of the gearbox plastic trim up to the Media slot.
I prefer USB-C connection that USB-As my Google Phone charges very rapidly through USB-C.
It keep the console/transmission area tidy with no cables and allows me to use the port I prefer.
Hopefully, someone with access to a 3D printer can come up with a clean mount for between the cupholders. I live this idea and would happily handover my $.Still need to do my last two packs of Sugru to try to make it an even more supportive dock. Functionally, it’s dxcellent!
Great mod but how did you remove the cupholders? Are you remove the hard plastic around the cupholder or just the rubber?Here’s another pic I found that I took. This is the driver’s side of the cup holder. You can see a tab at the top that snaps into the corresponding slot. Also there’s the hole I drilled.
Oh man it feels like it's been forever since I did this. If I recall correctly, I did remove the entire plastic section. I believe it just pulled up. You have to be careful and not pull up too far as the ambient lighting wires are connected at the bottom middle of the holder and they don't give you much spare wire to lift the holder up too far. I just drilled through the rubber and plastic at the bottom side where it shows in that blurry pic.
I use ProClip because I like the fact that I don't have to drill into anything, attach anything to my iPhone XS Max, or use any adhesive (though it includes a strip - which really isn't needed IMO). https://www.proclipusa.com/ It comes as two parts, the clip for your dash (depending on model) and the phone holder (depending on your phone). The holder for the 7/8 Plus works just fine for the XS Max.
I also got the ProClip mount, but I got the magnetic one with wireless charging. It's worked out pretty well, but sometimes it can be a little fiddly when attaching. If it's off-center and I don't confirm that it's firmly attached and charging, it can either fall off or it won't charge, but despite the minor annoyance, it's a lot easier than having to attach to a regular mount *and* plug it in.
