my daughter has a dancing lesson on tuesday so while i wait i am usually found tinkering around with bits on the van.

i was looking at the dash and thought that the ash tray space looked the same size as my old mobile phone (HTC HD2, currently being used as a hidden GPS tracker in case the van goes walkies)

SO, took out the tray and boom, the phone fits pretty snug. I have a double sized battery but if i took that off it would sit flush.

suddenly have an in built sat nav now T:


i love tinkering

It's not very hidden when I put it there so don't think it Will be living in that space for long. But it works well for a hacked phone.

It's running an android app from http://www.greenalp.com/RealTimeTracker/ which I can view the location of my T4 via a webpage. It is dependant on a good phone signal but you can see where the van has been and a rough location if it can't find gps.
I'd show you it working but don't want you lot knowing what I'm up to lol
