If you want to use your cell phone's map as a GPS, or if you can't use your GPS windshield mounts because it is illegal in over half the U.S, then this video will provide you with the cheapest and simplest ideas for all different types of cars.
Thought it does not look glamorous, this is one of the most practical and useful life hacks. Please subscribe especially when you need ideas or inspiration. Also please leave comments below, and share your own DIY results (we understand this DIY result may not look the best, hope your inspired result would be better looking :) , so don't click that "Dislike" if this video at least provides you with a good laugh.
One last note: I am not in favor of magnetic holder, if you purchase a magnetic holder, make sure it does not affect the Compass or your credit card.

Thanks. I improved your idea by adding some plastic bottles so the phone won't be affected by the hot wind from the blower. thanks.

yeah, heat can cause battery leakage, that is a very good reason to use a cup, thank you for sharing, it will help other viewers. Can you share how did you do it? Is it similar to this?: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJmcnJuhxtOVlGQ.html

Hey guys. Don't knock the binder clip idea! It is a lot safer than the "professional" air vent mounts that came with my satellite radio. It barely worked, then broke the air vent. Found this video looking for a way to not break a temporary new car.

Use Velcro!!! Be sure to use the hook side of velcro on the dashboard side or your phone will pick- up a lot of lint. Also, for good adhesion, use alcohol first to clean surfaces before sticking Velcro.
