Default PSP Mount

Just thought I'd post up some pics of my new psp car mount =D.

Search google for "psp car mount" to find it. (the seller is a nonsponser)

It came with 3m tape but i went ahead and screwed it to the dash

I was looking at some PSP mounts also. I just don't think I'd screw into the dashboard though.

Wait, do you just have headphones hooked up to it? I thought you had it hooked up to the reciever via an AUX Input. Or do you?

Run those wires through the defrost vent. I ran my radar wires through the defrost vent down to the power point under the cup holder.

Damn technology sure is advancing with these little things! I would rather have my 7 inch in dash, touch screen, w/built in 6 CD changer and connect the IPOD to it...

The mount looks cool but I think it would have been a better idea to put a little suction cup on it and mount it to the windshield like every other GPS out there.

Just my .02

Based on how that thing angles and crap/area of mounting base - in his defense I guess drilling holes was actually the best option...(though I don't know how much it weights) -- at least it will have nav capabilities in the future also

doesnt waigh more than a 1/2 pound really, and the base has 3 axis of movement (side, tilt and turning) but the 3m tape just wouldnt hold up the psp when i floor it so i stuck it there now it can take all the torque i can throw at it

Personally, Id rather pay 1k$ for an indash nav unit w/ ipod video capabilities, than ruin a dash piece worth a few hundred.

hmm, last i checked....1k > "a few hundred"

to each his own. besides i didnt want to buy an ipod etc etc. plus the indash nav would block my vents which will have gauges in them. there is a meathod to the madness =)

edit: oh and who do you know with an ipod + in dash navigation. ok. now who do you know with a psp mounted? my thoughts exactilly =) just my way of spicing it up a little differntly
