This was super easy to install and will prevent a lot of issues I have experienced in the past. I once dropped my car keys upon arriving at my destination and they were impossible to retrieve after falling into that crevice. I literally spent almost an hour frantically trying to find them and put out my back doing the contortion required to get my arm under there. Another time, I was in the passenger side applying eyeliner on the way to our destination. To this day, my overpriced Stila pencil has yet to be recovered. 🙃 I am looking forward to not encountering those types of issues again.
That said…I mount my phone to the left of the steering wheel and am more prone to losing my phone on the side closest to the door. This didn’t even occur to me until after installing this product. This is obviously not the fault of the product, but now I need to find some way to either mount my phone on the right side (very hard the way my 2014 2.5i Subaru Outback interior is designed) and/or jerry rig some solution to block that area to the left of the seat.
This product will still greatly reduce some issues I have experienced. It also came with some nice bonuses - a little credit card sized flashlight and a little washable sticky mat to hold items in place. It can keep my phone in place in other locations like the top of my center console or the small space in front of my clock, but no placement of this item will allow any visibility of the GPS, simply because of the interior design of my car. Again, not the product’s fault.
I don’t regret buying this, but I also wish I had considered that it won’t help prevent a big issue I was hoping to solve. Had I fully thought things through, I may have tried harder to find some alternative GPS solution first. I hate the vent clip holder I currently have, but thus far it has been the only “good” option.
