Instead of buying an expensive dock for my car, I decided to make my own. I already have a charger/amfm transmitter, all I needed was the holder. A new law hawaii makes it illegal to have a cellphone in your hand while driving, this is my solution. With a new job coming up that will involve a lot of driving, I figure it would be nice to look at the map while kind of looking at the road.

This step can be skipped if you use super glue, but what the heck, I had the tools. Take apart clothes pin if you're gonna drill, make sure clothes pin doesnt go past the L bracket or itll hit the bottom of the phone.
Bend and Add Metal Plate

Bend to desired angle. I figured it would be better to add a plate for more surface area.
Add Velcro

Add velcro. I decided to use velcro, even though gluing the case to the dock would be sturdier. It could go straight to the phone, but thats no good, and I always drop my phone.
Finish

I'll probably try and make it more sturdy. The velcro I used was pretty bad*.
Clipped it to the cd drawer thingy instead of the vent because I felt the vent was more important than the container lid thing.
*I only used the velcro I used because it had the sticky sides. I plan to use the heavy duty one, the kind that's kinda beige-ish looking and superglue it.
