    I didn't even have the sound turned up... so imagine how boring it was for me watching the guy fiddle with his phone for 2.5 minutes before actually showing the whole purpose for the vid!

    I also have one ....had it for a while now and love it.

    When you're using it a lot - putting the phone in & out of it... it's a good idea to take the mount out of the CD slot and re-seat it back in.

    I find it works loose as well after some use. I think it is the design of the CD slot mouth (at least in the 2011). I have to tighten the mount a fair bit to secure it. This much extension on the screw seems to deform the lower edge of the unit.

    Here are some pics:


    CD slot (2011).. note how it's wide vertically before narrowing inside:

    The mount in place:

    The mount tightened to where it was snug in place. Note the deformed shape of the lower edge:

    Here it is with the tightening screw fully retracted (no tension).. notice how the lower edge plastic of the unit keeps some of its deformed shape:
