Review on GTinthebox Smartphone Cell Phone Rotatable Portable Audio & Video for MP3 & MP4 Player Accessories by Bernard Larjin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product bad assembly instructions

After I figured out how to install this phone holder it worked very well. The instructions don't make it clear that you need to remove the 2 screws that attach the sensor to the steering column. Once removed, the gauge can be rotated and the 3 mounting screws simply screwed onto the back of the gauge. The instructions provided are not clear on this. If there is another way without loosening 2 screws and turning the gauge, I couldn't figure it out or I didn't have the right tool. This bracket fits right into the 3 screws that hold the sensor together from the front and back. When the jig is in place, the bottom two screw holes are not accessible without rotating the jig. So if you try to use the instructions that came with it, it turns out that you can only connect the top screw. Once the sensor is rotated all 3 screws are accessible and the phone mount can be easily installed in the existing screw holes. NOTE: Be careful when removing/installing the 2 screws (to rotate the display) so they do not fall into the plastic steering column covers. If you drop it, the plastic cover comes off easily with a couple of screws and gently pry the plastic piece out of a couple of clips. I was careless when reinstalling and had to fish out one of the bolts. With good concentration, this should not happen.

Pros
  • Stand
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
