Phone Mount
August 3/2019
Kuda mounting base, part #084385.
Fix2Car phone cradle that was in my Grand Prix.
Pry trim off.
Why is this tab like this?
August 7/2019
I had e-mailed Kuda to confirm that the tab has to be bent. I got a phone call from them, and was told that the tab did have to be bent, and the tab on the backside can be bent more if needed.
Note: I didn't read the instructions properly, as they do say "bend netal plates".
Thanks to KudaUSA for calling me and getting me taken care of.
Finally my phone has it's place in the car.

Finally got the wiring finished properly (ignition power for the dash cam and phone mount.
Picked up a couple of 12v-5v converters. Came up with this set-up, to be mounted beside the fuse panel behind the glovebox.
Been using this splitter cable; functional but not pretty,
Glovebox removed.
The mounting place, and the fuse to be "tapped"
Had to re-do the converters due to clearance issues.
Mounted and tapped.
All done.
The cable is gently "pinched" in place by the glovebox. Not sure what else to do with it.

iPod Nano in use.
Used some double sided tape to hold the cable in placeso it is no longer being pinched.

Got anew phone last week, so needed a new phone cradle.
iPhone 11 with LifeProof Wake case.
Length, width and thickness with case on.
Sinjimoru charging mount. $45 CDN on e-Bay.
New phone cradle base attached to the Kuda mount.
It will do the job for now, but it is flimsy. I already have my eye on a better cradle.
