Welcome to my mini instructable.
I made that smartphone holder for several cars and smartphones. I never used the cd player in my cars, but it was always placed in the area wich i would choose for my phone to be. Mostly the radio + cd-slot very easy to reach and quit fast to look at even while you drive.
This is the location were i WANT my navigation on journeys, i think it is more safe, than hanging in front of me, plumped on the windshield and disturbing my view. (When it is not falling down instantly ;-) )
So i looked for an option to place my phone there ... and here it is ... two handcrafted c-clamps with an slot-hook
You need:
- a small peace of thin mdf board, the size depends on your phone.
- a fret saw ( my first and favorite prototyping tool ;-) )
- a pen
Draw the Clamp on the Board

draw an c-clamp on the board. Take the measurements from our phone by yourself or look for them in the internet.Draw it a little bit tighter than the measurements say. You can adjust and adapt it to your phone, by sanding it later
draw an slot-hook to the c-clamp. In this case make it thicker than you measured the slot-size. You can adjust and adapt it to your cd-player, by sanding it later.
Sawing

Saw the Clamps an sand them till you like the result. Keep them clean when you test it at the cd-player to prevent damage from the slot or the mechanic by dust or splinters.
Enjoy But Take Attention.
