Hey guys.

I was shopping for a new phone holder yesterday and came across this little beauty :(

It's good for the phone and even better for the Power FC.

(probably buy another one for the FC soon)

Pics are attached

Price was $9.95 from Leading Edge (one of those dodgey brothers elevtrival stores)

Top price if you ask me.

It works using magnets.

Attatch one permanentyl to the back of your phone or PFC and the other piece attaches to the dash of course.

Using the double sided sticky tape method but it is 3M tape so hopefully is reliable.

(hasn't dropped yet...a whole 24 hrs ! )

It has a button on the side which acts as a lever system to 'pop' the magnets aparts.

You know what it's like trying to get 2 flat magnets apart. Can be tricky.

This button makes it pretty easy.

Anyways.

It's the best option I've seen so far so I'm just putting it out there for you guys to check out and decide.

I already use a $12 job from Super Cheap for the Power FC but don't really like it.

Too ugly and noticeable. And taked up a vent slot.

This one you CAN NOT see once the device is mounted over it.

It's also pretty sturdy.

The oval shaped magnet on the back of my phone sticks out about 3mm

..and tha sits inside a 3mm deep oval on the bracket so it can't spin or slide off.

Pics below.....

Enjoy :D

yeh mate, lol, magnets next to electronics isnt a good idea.

its called uhh, elecromagetics ;)

someone put a big sub next to your TV and see what it does.

BUT, i dont think it has an affect on LCD's but i am sure the rest of the electrics cant be 100% happy?

Works fine.

It's mounted there so i can see who's calling me without having to move my head or pick the phone up, then i answer the call by pressing another button for the bluetooth/handsfree setup.

Calls are fine

Everything works exactly the same as before the magnet.

..a tiny magnet compare to a sub.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
