cars these days need a OEM, built-in phone holder! i thought about the kuda but it seems strange to have it on the passenger side? will the passenger's leg hit it?

 

Humm, should have posted sooner. After the pictures of the difficult fitment, I cancelled my order and moved forward with a ProClip mount.

Looks good from the driver side:


A bit more tacky from the passenger side but still OK for me:

 

Just finished installing the Kuda car mount. Install was easy.

1) Prep'ed the car mount by installing the phone mount onto the car mount
2) Drilled a hole just big enough for the lightening connector (if it's an earlier phone then you'll need it big enough for the USB connector) exiting the glove box towards the center console near the USB port (don't panic, it's not visible with the glove box closed, you could probably get a longer cord and go over the back of the glove box but given it's out of site this worked for me)
3) Pop out a short section of trim piece along side the console farthest from the dash.
4) Route the cabling out of the glove box towards the car mount tucking the cable in on the bottom side of the trim piece. For most of this the trim piece does not need to be removed.
5) I chose to drill through the base of the phone mount and bring the cable up through it to hide as much cable as possible.
6) Slide the car mount into position, bend the bottom tab of the phone mount around the bottom of the trim piece. The trim piece is triangular and the car mount will only fit in one location so I slid it forward unto the fit was snug.
7) Pop the trim piece back on and your done.

It took about the same amount of time to take the photos and prepare this post as it did for the install

One upgrade would be if you could find a black lightening cable. I bought a third party one but the particular phone mount I bought is designed to fit the apple connector perfectly and the third party connector was slightly bigger and would not fit.

Pics to come later.

Sorry, I didn't install it three times! Having problems with my 6speed iPhone app
