These are my step by step installation pictures. I took the advice in this case from TheWorm (thanks), I got the Panavise holder and the Clip Caddy along with the Motorola EZ-Installation Kit.
BTW the Clip Caddy works with any cell phone. Installation took me about 20-25 minutes.
First, make a hook out of a cloth hanger in order to pull out the whole cover. Make sure to pull from inside (like 3 inches deep) and not from the vents.
Step 3.
Procede with the right side in the same manner and then use your hands to take out. You will need just a little space in order to screw in the new holder.
Step 5
Here is my advise. Screw the Caddy to the holder before installing it because later is kind of dificult to get the screws in the back of the Panavise holder.
Mjaime, is there a screw on the other side? I'm trying to map out where to put my phone once my MDX arrives, and I prefer to have it close at hand for ease of dialing and reading the caller ID. I'll probably go with the Motorola handsfree + mic and hardwire it behind the console... I hate wires hanging.
Yes, there is a screw in the exact same position as the other, but the Panavise holder is made to be in the right side. I had the same impresion that it was too far but after using it for sometime I 'm getting use to it and very happy after at least 5 different holders that I tried before this one. The screen of the phone becomes very clear due to the perfect angle the holder is made.
I put the speaker right under the power outlet in the hole and the mic installation (pics) with no wires hanging can be seen in the thread mentioned before.
___I am bumping this thread as it is a great one. I only hope I can add something to it …
___I picked up some Panavise mount(s) for the X and the 03 Corolla but did not realize I also needed to order the Clip Caddy’s as a separate entity. Shame on me … So off to try and pick them up I go. I found an EBay’er that will sell them on the side for just $6.00 for (2), that’s right (2) and that includes shipping via USPS!
___If you are interested in the Clip Caddy’s, her name is Christina and her E-Mail address is chb74@yahoo.com. I paid her via PayPal just two days ago and they were in the mail box this afternoon! They were in there original Panavise packaging and fit the Panavise mounts exactly as TheWorm and Mjaime have shown. The pin on the back of my Krusell Handit case for the Axim (my GPS NAVI device) fits perfectly into the Clip Caddy which is what I really wanted it for to begin with.
___I think I will install the Blitzsafe and Panavise later on tonight.
