on your GTS ? I used to just leav the phone at a little box compartment space below radio in front of the shift with a hands-free line hanging out of it so I don't have to hold it. But in my new GTS I lose that space. I'm against driving with one hand holding phone so can you post pics about how to properly hodl the cell phone when you drive. thanks

well you didn't read my question correctly - I said I have a hands-free line already. It plugs into the phone and I can just insert the earpiece and talk hands-free while I drive.. My question is where/how to "hold" the phone in a good place in the GTS cabin since there's no easy space to leave the phone at.

DeserRose : thanks so much for the kit. I might just check it out at Walmart but still I just wanna know where is a good place and how you get a "phone holder" to mount the phone in the cabin - I gueess the kit does that already ?

thanks

Those holders shown in the picture are licensed by Recaro, so you can't really say it's rice since it is genuine.

BrianT : YES YES YES thanks so much this is exactly what I am looking for. Is this the kit that DesertRose mentioned ? If not please tell me where to get it.

Also I already have the special hands-free line(earpiece+microphone) that I normalliy plug into the phone - do I not need that anymore if I get this kit ?

Here's mine. I bought the belt holder, tore off the belt part and double sided tape it there:

I put my Nokia on a swivel belt clip so I just added the swivel clips that has a adhesive on the back and just placed it to the left of the window on/off switch on the drivers side below the vent area (same area as Archon_Ninja's)

amateurs. You should just learn how to shift, drive w/ one hand and talk on the phone. I do it all the time, I hold the phone in my left hand, and shift w/ my right, let go of the steering wheel and shift. Pretty stupid, I know, I'm actually just kidding around. I gotta get a phone holder, but I really shouldn't talk on the phone in the car anyway. Kinda distracting. I try not to, but that's what I do when i'm driving. My friend used to steer with his chin. Hehe, that's funny to watch.

thanks CyberPunk : that is the coolest, cna you tell me where you got that holder ?

also it looks like the phone is fixated(glued ?) on the holder - or is it easily detachable ? can't really tell from the picture . Is the holder also glued to the dashboard permanently ? I don't mind that - as long as the phone can be quick-released ?

I screwed the holder on to the dash. I tried to use the double sided tape but the phone and holder were just to heavy. The kit comes with a quick release clip that can be used as a belt clip. Only cost me like $22 from nokia.com. Here are other pictures of the holder. Again, sorry for the quality.
