Description

This design I created to have my iPhone snugfit onto my steering wheel of my car, so I can see the map. It doesn't damage the phone and really works well.

The 4mm plywood version is snapfit, no glue used so far. The 3mm acryllic version needs some glue. You can mount it onto anything.

Hi a good design ,but a very bad idea.Even without an air bag if you were to crash ,you would end up withl the phone embedded in your head ,I dont know you but i would hate for that to happen to anyone.

I thought the steering wheel looked a little small, but I don't see many cars of that vintage. This is hyper-personal manufacturing! Someone in my office built an in-dash mount for his gps using fiberglass similarly. It would be nice to start developing families of solutions for different devices and car mounts that could interlock.

Don't worry, my car is an old one, a Peugeot 306 from the year 1993. It has no airbag. I do agree that you shouldn't mount it on a steering wheel if it has an airbag. The design can also be adopted to fit with a tyrep to the ventilation system or something similar. Or mount it to the wall with a few screws.

It works for me though :-)

I don't think that car has an airbag, but it would be helpful to know what make it is if others want to make one.

I hate to state negatives for anyone's cool project, but this seems to be quite dangerous. Not only does it require you to take your eyes off the road, but you have it attached to your steering wheel which will explode into you when airbags are deployed.

Maybe this could be converted to more of a top dashboard mount?
