    I have a iphone 7plus with a tech21 evo check case. What would be the price for this setup?

    @Muffdiver thanks. It looked similar to what I have on my phone.

    Scott,

    Since Windows phones aren't exactly popular, the choices for OBD software are slim. I use:

    AutoGaugeX - http://autogaugex.com/. The author actually keeps the software up to date and reads user messages.

    Mileage log - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/mileage-log/9nblggh0b2w2

    Waze - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/waze/9wzdncrfj2m3 - still works despite Goggle's evil intentions

    Speed Cam app -https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/speed-cameras/9wzdncrfhwcg

    Weather is built into Cortana - The phone grabs my Internet connect when parked at home, and then I tether on the road

    There is also a GPS built into the phone and Nokia GPS is not half bad - this is my backup GPS (Make sure my Garmin doesn't take me into da Hood)

    Like you I have a 64gig USB card, so no music is stored on the phone. My regular cell phone (Nokia 635) also has a 64 gig chip, so I'm covered for music storage. I'm thinking about storing a few favorite movies on the Nokia 640 for times when I'm bored and stuck in gridlock traffic. So far, my podcasts keep me entertained.

    If there are other cool apps people use on their phones when they drive, let me know.

    Holder turned out great sir. I thought I might have to use double sided tape or the like, but it holds great as is with no additional adhesion. Now to try to figure out a solution for another project I pm'ed you about :spy:

    Got my dock the other day. It the most useful money I've spent on the truck yet. I haven't needed double sided tape for my S7. Thanks again Tim for the fast response and great customer service.

    Hope you don't mind but I 'borrowed' your idea. I also have a 3D printer and made my own variation. Don't worry... will not be stealing your idea for self gain. Just made myself one and keep it at that. Great idea though!

    @T MAC OUTSTANDING MY FRIEND!!!

    Hopefully it will loosen up (just a smidge) over time. It's a super tight fit. Awesome work! Thank you again!

    @gkomo No worries, that's the beauty of these (3D printers) things haha. As they say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" so thanks for digging the idea.

    @kwinstead Looks good man. How tight is tight? Taking some sand paper to the inner faces of the phone pocket to open it up a bit could help if it's close. ABS sands nicely. It might relax laterally a bit if it's being flexed open and held like that too.

    It's pretty tight. When removing the phone I was scared it was going to pull the whole thing out of the cutout in the console, so I held it down with one hand while I pulled the phone out with the other. It's all good though. I think over time it will loosen up a bit, but if it gives me any issues I'll sand on it a bit. I also could go the two sided tape route as well.

    Overall, very nice work! I am extremely pleased! Thank you again!
