Car to car. Especially at the Dragon.

After another trip to the Dragon, I added a few more items to my list. First was an upgraded antenna, since I was frequently in the back and had trouble receiving signals from the front. Next, the fix I did for mono to stereo conversion failed, so I just ordered a cable to split the mono output of the radio into the stereo inputs for the switch box. Lastly, the cables seriously bothered me while driving, so I modified some wire clips so they held the wires away from the shifter. They are trimmed on one side so I can slip the cables in and out when installing and removing the radio.

I also bored out the hole for the mic, it works much better now.

Bob now sell it in his store. Personally I still like the rubber stopper better that I use. I added a second one to mine and bent both of the screws so its at the perfect angle to the dash.

Just out of curiosity - is the wiggle coming from the bracket attachment point? Or is the bracket bending a bit? What is the source of the wiggle? Also, do you get wiggle with just an iphone on the bracket or is it only when you have more weight on there?

Pretty much all of the above. The bracket is very thin, and your results may vary depending on how heavy your device is.

This last trip to the dragon, I greatly appreciated the extra stability of two feet.
