    Bits ordered yesterday lunch time turned up this 'arvo, that has got to be good. Paul at Southern Insight was great to deal with, answered all my emails promptly and had a number of suggestions for alternate instals. The only issue is their website purchasing system doesn't work, email them or give them a call. (No affiliation, just happy customer).

    Here are some pics.

    It is a real pain trying to get the ball socket installed into the little cubby hole, you need girlie hands and a bit of patience. WARNING, there are bits of "car" immediately behind the cubby hole, drill carefully and shallow, I used a drill bit with a lot of tape a few mil from the tip to avoid going too deep. I drilled one hole at a time, using the base plate as a template for the next hole.

    The Holder with ball socket attached



    The "Arm" with socket that goes into the cubby hole attached



    Arm attached to holder



    The fiddly bit, getting the ball into the cubby (see warning above)



    Arm attached to mounted ball



    Tablet and holder attached



    Looking good



    A quick trip to the shops and all was good, no vibration and the Tablet screen was easily read. It is a bright sunny day here today so I was a little surprised about how well the screen display read.

    I have both street and Ozi Android navigation Apps installed.
