Simon Goldthorpe 19 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Apologies if this has been asked many times before, but being new to the Evora (GT430), I am struggling to see where you would put a phone. Any tips? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies! The first guy to ride a bull for fun, was a true hero. The second man to follow him was truly nuts!

r3nault 14 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 I’ve been wondering if anyone has changed their head unit to the flip out kind and freed up a dash cubby this way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mg4lotus 136 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 In my pocket. It links to the head unit via bluetooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KJD 97 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Get creative and make a bracket for a Brodit cradle. It’s all very well saying put the phone in the boot but CarPlay and Waze can be useful while you’re on the way to Hethel for that lap record attempt. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Counterdoc 53 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 @KJD is the bracket just clipped in there somehow? Very nice solution! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KJD 97 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 It’s held in with the radio screws. This is the other side for my Vi Monitor mid-manufacture. Gives you the idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cdm2018 158 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 As I swapped to pioneer apple car play my phone goes into the glovebox as there’s a lead to connect and charge sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KJD 97 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I’ve run the cable from the phone cradle into the glovebox to pick up the usb connector. I can break into it there to do updates, etc on the head unit. Having the phone in the glovebox won’t do much for reception, if that’s important to you, and occasionally it’s helpful to see the phone, even with carPlay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimH 45 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Cheapskate but effective solution - they take a bit of perseverance with alcantara (probably better with leather) to get stuck on, but these work well on the sides of the centre console too...... Long lead to the glove box one side and a shorter one to the front cigarette lighter on the other..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Car-Auto-String-Mesh-Net-Bag-Storage-Pouch-For-Cell-phone-Gadget-Holder-WOR/333629758253 Edited October 2, 2020 by JimH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It sticks reasonably well to the carpeted centre console using velcro. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bruss 579 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Similar position but I just velcro a phone case in to place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
