Before you laugh!

Before you laugh keep in mind this cost me 4$!

Step one. Buy universal rubber anti slip pad for phones on eBay. $2.

Step two. Buy HUDy pro app for iPhone on app store. $2

Sit pad on dash. Sit phone on pad.



Blurry images I know but in person it looks awesome. Uses little battery life too!

I wouldn't laugh. Its a creative idea, and a effective cheap one at that.

I'd worry about using it on a sunny day as it would probably cook your phone. Also, if you use it frequently, say goodbye to your phones long term battery life.

Thats pretty neat! .... but I did see your gas gauge and I think you may wanna fill up before someone else laugh at you for running out of gas

I swear there's some sort of little troll creature that lives under my car and survives off the gas he siphons out of my tank!

I used torque on the android along with a odb blutooth ( not needed), but the way i drive my phone might go out the window. plus the anti slip pad need to be washed to remain sticky.
