fake handbrake on centre console left side, replaceable with phone holder???

[Madivad]

Opposite the handbrake on the left side of the console, where there is what appears to be a second handbrake, but it's just a fixed piece of plastic... (sorry, can't think of anyway to describe it)...

Is anyone aware of a replacement section for that that would be suitable as an iPhone mount in that area? It seems to be a wasted little space and the phone sits wonky in there. It appears as though that piece is removable, so I was wondering if anything exists that would replace that 'thing' with a more purposeful holder of some descript.

u can buy them from holden, my mate had one for his htc.
i think u can find them on ebay
the section clips out and a new bottom goes in, then u screw the cradel in and yeah

It's actually the handbrake for left hand drive vehicles.

Must have been cheaper to mass produce a bunch, and sort out drive orientations later...:thumbup:

Sent from my Galaxy SII.

Yeah it's for the lhd conversion Holden did when they were shipped to the states. If you look either side of your stereo to the door it's the same trim size. Pretty much a straight swap over for the dash

I did realise why it was there, ie the shape and all.

Jonnoo, any idea what I search for? I've been looking but coming up nada.

I want to go to holden tomorrow, I'll see what they have. Thanks

Keep us up to date mate, I'm a little interested.

Alloy foil fabrication ?

I'm interested too... I mean, at the moment it fits my iPhone sort of well

 

[Madivad]

So far no good. I was just in at my local holden dealer, and they aren't aware of any holder that mounts in that area of the console. Jonnoo, if you can get a part number of your mate that would be good

I'm keen as for something like that the windscreen ones are tacky an the air vent ones are just stupid this sounds like the go.
