First off, thanks to the other forum members for the detailed instructions on the USB2 Mod.

I combined my little project of creating a custom non-intrusive cell mount and the USB2 mod so that it would be in the location to provide power and data access from my phone and my phone would be in a location I can easily reach it.

That being said, I've attached some pictures of each project and the final results which I am very pleased with. The functionality is great!

Cell Phone Mount:
My idea came from this company, ProClips:

I just couldn't justify spending almost 40 bucks on a piece of plastic....so I created my own using some spare cable guides laying around the house. This is what I butchered from Lowes to do the job, the clip part had the same contour as the dash:

Product Name:Wiremold Cablemate Chair Rail Kit

Using a Dremel I cut the plastic to size, then glued the 3 pieces together(Front Clip, Bar, Rear clip) and sprayed it with some textured paint then PlastiDip. Finally, I glued the suction pad to the mount.







Moving on to the USB2 Mod, I drilled the hole in the dash tray and rubber. Then as many of you have done, plugged the adapter and cable in, and gave it a test drive.....and it works great









Final Product:


Happy to hear any thoughts and suggestions.....this was a fun and pretty easy project to start off with on a 3 week old truck......thanks!

All the pics are hosted on this site, you may have to login to see them?

hosted on what site? there are no pics and no links except to your lowes and the company you stole the idea from.

The first link takes you to the product that you did not buy. The second, to Lowes, does not go to a product specific page. There are no other pics that I can see in this thread atm. I am intersted in your phone mount. I use my phone for gps, since I bought the 2010 used, and dont wanna pay for the sync gps. I just haven't yet figured out where I want to put it, and how.

Sorry for the epic fail on my part, everything seemed working when I previewed the post. the folder I was using was set to private, I've made it public. please let me know if you guys see anything now.

I did something similar, but didn't make it permanent. I just ran a cord from the back of the stereo to the back of my cell phone holder that has a charging port built into it.

Also lets me use the Torque app to watch and monitor boost and all that other stuff

That looks real clean, I like it. Do you have the pad taped to the dash, I couldn't get mine to adhere so i went for the clip mount situation.

Dig the app also, may have to look into that
