Hello mate!

I really like this! And i would love to have this solutuion myself. Did you create this yourself or did you buy it from somewhere?
If you did it yourself, would you concider making me one for a resonable price?'

Regards
Hi mate. Thanks for your interest. Yes. I made it myself. A 3Dprinted ABS plastic. Surely i can make another one if you think its worth to ship the plastic part from asia[emoji23]. Maybe i can just give you the file and you might be able to find nearest 3d printing service around you. But before we discuss further, i need to inform you that it is highly customized item for iphone 5(due to its weight) and lightning cable connector. The phone itself is being supported by the lightning connector. Nothing else. The lightning connector really hold the phone weight very well for such application. Then i just made a small cover for the connector when not in use. ImageImage

Hi hmthakur. Sorry for the late reply. Been busy outside town. Btw. Sure. I can do this for u. But it is custom for iPhone 5S. I’ve to rework the design if you want to mount something else.

I’m using the original charger cable for the phone where I tap the 12V power directly from cigarettes lighter using modified usb charger and everything is hide under the dash. Here’s the connection:

Cigarette lighter ——- usb charger port —— original phone cable ——- mounting.

Some latest simple update done.

1) work on the rear emblem to get gloss black effect.
2) installed Phillips led H8 to my foglight.

I would say the light output is the same length as the original Osram filament bulb. Only it’s white.

Here’s two photos

Haha. Just got myself playing around with transparent abs material for 3Dprinting. So more to come as it’s now possible to mask the buttons symbol like the oem. [emoji41]

just out of pure curiosity, can you 3D print a plate similar to the back of the armrest (with the cupholder) with an opening and some kind of construction to hold the seat heating buttons?
or is this too complicated for now?

It’s possible. But I won’t go that ‘far’ because even though it’s the same material (ABS), the strength won’t be the same as injection mould. So making a cup holder means it’s only good to see. Not for to “use”. Plus the bigger means more headache for finishing job.

I would propose just making the mounting for the buttons. Means u still use the existing panel.

I think if u can source smaller heated seat buttons like in passat/Audi (I think), it’s better here since the below centre area is too close for bottles and buttons over there might not be practical.
