Root Show us your Evo car setup

goodboy · Dec 12, 2010

I was curious to see how everyone used their Evo in their cars. Lets see what you got.

Here's mine.

Note, that in the cigarette lighter there is now a Kensington PowerBolt Micro that I modified to get a healthy 600+ mA when I connect my Evo to it(its able to supply up to 2.1 Amps for iPads).

Edit: Poop, I put this thread in the wrong forums -_-. I meant to put in accessories.

That's a nice setup, I like the location of your mount.

I have a 95 Bronco and have had a heck of a time finding a good spot to put mine. I bought the HTC/Sprint car mount and it has the sticker for locating on the dash, but the way the dash is set up i have hard finding a good out of the way location for it.

interesting set up...what do you have the case attached to?

I never really considered attaching it to the extra pocket there like that. great idea!

Its a pretty custom set up... I just need some advice on where I should mount the phone though? Im thinking below the new head unit where my old one used to be, I just hope the tape holds.. but I am open to other alternatives. And sorry the car is so dirty, I've been so busy lately to get it shined up.

wrapkgb, in your case I think if you tape a box below the radio you can velcro the evo to it. That way it would have great visibility and be useable by the passenger as well as the driver.

lol and yes I knew you were joking.

I had seen that a few months ago and realized it would help me immensely. The base of the mount attaches with a sticky pad but since the extra pocket in the car is lined with felt it wouldn't have worked. I just pulled the console off and drilled a hole through the top of pocket. The mount has a hole where a torque screw fit so I just got a slightly longer screw to fit through the hole and be able to tighten it from inside the pocket.

Sorry guys.. I couldn't resist!

I for the life of me can't figure out how that attaches to the phone/case lol.

The bracket comes with two adhesive disks that attach to phone or, in my case, the HTC Evo case so I can slide in from the top. I used a dab of gorilla glue to make sure it wouldn't fall off. The case, now with the attached disk, slides into a friction slot on the mount.

It works great. I just want to find some sort of grip or case that I can use my commuter case with.
