Keen for this asap in Aus!I reached out to them and we have a discount for forum members. I was waiting to get my hands on a grenadier to give them the spec to develop a mount.
I think it's good when you put ideas into practice. It looks very neat.
GPS does not work in my Grenadier over 20kph so I tend to unlink my phone from CarPlay and use the navigation stand alone. We are still waiting on the second part of the software update in Oz to fix the GPS.
Ah, ok. Thank you for explanation. Then I understand. Because for me, the Touch is an image of my smartphone. I can use all the functions. That's why I've always wondered why people from Germany in particular have made mounts for their smartphones.
Might be lots of very important people in Germany (and elsewhere) wanting to read their emails as soon as they hit their inbox???
Same here. But I do believe some people are emotionally attached to their phones. Like toddlers, must never let them out of sight!
Yes, at least I can confirm it for this country, smartphone use is a bad habit. I often notice people playing with their smartphones while driving. This causes accidents. In my opinion, the penalties are too low.
Phone sits nicely just in front of the shifters
Looks nice. Color clashes a bit with the saddle leather though
You remove the three existing recessed M4 head cap screws/bolts from the dash, these are short but grip tightly into a metal captive nut inside the screw holes of the panel. There are "barrels" (not sure what to call them) on the back of the mount that snugly push into the holes and then you would insert longer screws to secure. It holds tightly as is just on the barrels, the three screws should lock it in solidly. When I get my longer screws will try it out and let you know.Looks nice.

What do the screws mount into? Are there preexisting holes? Did you make a backing plate?
I like this. I see the practicality for sure. However I have no clue of this 3d printing stuff... Can it snap easily? Or have you implemented a weak point, I ask as I worry if some Muppet hops in my car and hits it. Ild rather it snap then do damage to the centre hub panelling. Thanks for sharing the file too
Hi Rovie
When allowing Muppets in my car I tend to keep them on a short leash in the back seat or load area. You could print it with thin walls (2 or 1?) and less or no infill (10% or less?), this would make the whole structure weaker and possibly allow it to fail before it caused any damage to the dash panel. Also stick to printing in standard PLA which is weaker and snaps easier. I personally chose print settings to make it quite strong and sturdy to prevent any failure. It does protrude on an 45 degree angle from the dash but stays within the centre console area, so its not sticking out into the passenger's space and would not get knocked by a knee or other protruding limb easily.I like this.

How do you use Siri with the Grenadier? For instance I get a notification of a whatsapp message but I cannot read it when I press the Gren's screen. Is this where Siri helps?
That's why Manual Transmissions are a life saver.
Do you mind sharing a link? This looks different than what was previously posted.
