I just bought something like this, it was under $10, can't wait to use it. I've been using my HTC EVO for Nav on trips.

I've GOT to have this! I was intent on making this happen in my car, even if it required some electrical mods, and creating an Android in-car app since I'm a software engineer. Now I'm starting to wonder if the new screen stuff in the 2013's are going to have this capability.

The 2013 Camaro will feature Color Touch radio with a 7" diagonal color touch-screen display (Standard on all LT, SS and ZL1 models) plus Chevrolet MyLink, with Bluetooth streaming audio for music and select phones. Also included with this is Hands-Free smartphone integration. I hope you have found this information helpful.

Under the radio. haha no gauge pack here.

PsychoZL1 · 06-06-2012, 01:18 PM

+1 for where the gauge cluster would be if my Camaro had the gauge cluster.

GoldCartridgeGamer · 06-06-2012, 01:50 PM

Either in the front cup holder or under the radio.

90% of the time, in my pocket. If I need it out, usually just in the cup holder. I dont need to use it while driving.

strych9 · 06-06-2012, 02:14 PM

It seems blasphemous to affix anything to the interior of these cars. I literally winced as I read this thread. Blasphemy!

saahilrtrivedi · 06-06-2012, 02:15 PM

Cupholder (mainly the front one)
Or under my thigh (mainly the left one)

Angrybird 12 · 06-06-2012, 02:17 PM

Well there has been a certain plaice I have been told to put it, but we won't go there.
I usually just keep it in my pocket. Less tempted to use it while driving.

crateish · 06-06-2012, 02:17 PM

I have a 'Universal Dashboard Mount' from TomTom, which is just a weighted pad with a suction cup disc in the center. Mounted on it I have a 'Kensington Quick-Release Car Mount.' Got both from Amazon.

Keeps my iPhone between the 1 and 2 o'clock position, just behind my steering wheel. I can see the GPS, the HUD, and road all in line of sight.

I slip my iPhone in and out of it easily to use GPS. I put it on my dash when needed. Just toss it in the back seat when not needed.
