Well, I find it awkward to open the console, fish out a cable, connect it to the phone, and then have no place to put the phone.

So, I picked up a plastic console pocket from an auction site, and wrapped it in the same pleather I used to cover my knee pads.

Then, I routed a black lightning cable out from the console through the hinge opening in the console lid, and out the passenger side.

I routed it behind the side flap of the console and into my pocket. I used 3M double sided tape to locate and fix it to the console.

Much easier to access, takes up very little space, and it even works on an iPad [just not as well due to size].








Since first posting this I remounted the pocket so it is in line with the top of the console and not slanted.

How did you get it through the hinge? That's very smart of you

Thanks! At first I was thinking of drilling a hole inside the console, but I noticed a large gap for the hinges - see the second picture.

I poked a stiff wire down through there, and it came right out from under the side.

I routed the charging cable through, opened and closed the lid and there is no interference whatsoever.

Thanks for the tip on these. After I read this thread yesterday I ordered a pair of these from Amazon. They are awesome for my large iPhone and a great fit in the car. I also followed your lead a bit by routing the Lightning cable out the back and in to a hole I drilled in the rear of the pocket. Glad to see you still doing helpful mods for the community. I remember you from the Corvette forum.

Anyone looking for a direct link to the product, you can find it here on Amazon:
