Brodit mount for the Altea

[JonTelfer]

Hi All,
Just fitted the Brodit pro clip and phone mount in my Altea. Now that I've worked out how to post images I thought I should share.

I find the Brodit mounts to be some of the best available. The plastic is really tough and it's a good snug fit with your phone - in my case a Nokia 6680.

I didn't fit any kind of swivel mount or anything. I think it might be a bit too bulky if you do that. Instead I drilled the pro clip using the cradle holes as a template and put through a couple of 3.5mm bolts (B&Q). This was OK but the phone doesn't quite face you. I loosened the bolts and put in three bits of draft excluder foam cut into a wedge (3 different lengths stacked basically), on the top left corner. The foam is pretty dense so when you re-tighten the bolts the cradle shifts angle quite nicely.

Judge for yourselves anyway:

Now I've found the right angle I'll cut the long bolt ends off if I get round to it.

There's no wobble in the phone at all - which is pretty good given the FR suspension.

Ive just fitted the Brodit pro clip that goes on the edge of the radio on my Leon (near the glove box) this was for ease of use as I have the Blurtooth pack. I had previously fitted on of these to my wifes Altea and installed the Nokia CARK91 with a POP Port handset cradle.

I used a Lighter Adaptor Charger but I wired it into the back of the Car Ciggy Lighter and hid the unit behind the panel leading upto the Handbrake so the charger doesnt stick out between the seats!

I have a brodit clip in my Toledo and its the best thing I have brought formy mobile/car stuff. So impressed I brought one for the gf's Ka and my Dads 9-5 and 900.

Fantastic kit, a little pricey for what it is but works so well
