How does it attach? It says velcro. Does that require you to stick something gooey somewhere? Or does it just velcro to the carpet? If it velcros to the carpet, does it make little pulls in the nap screwing up your carpet when you pull it off?

Are you planning to use that to keep a 2-way radio handy? I just use a boom headset with a separate PTT switch that I can clip to my shoulder harness (since VOX generally doesn't work worth squat). I throw the radio behind my seat and it stays put back there.

Wait a second..WAIT A SECOND. 155 are you blonde? Hee hee...you need help installing this...but you can install much more complicated things. I love it.

Looks to me like it probably clips into the seam between the carpet and the console. Similar to how ProClips mount between interior panels. But I could be wrong.

No Rosie, I don't need help installing it, I want to know if it is a piece of crap or not and if it will screw up my carpet.

No, my wife likes to have her cell phone out of her purse and where she car hear it ring when she is in the car. It always ends up in the recessed area by the hand brake handle and being as anal as I am I would prefer it had a proper place. This looks like a proper place but I don't want something that puts pulls in the carpet loops. That is why I was asking.

If she's driving, then why not just pair the phone to the car (assuming her phone has bluetooth) and let the car's handsfree system handle calls? If she's not driving, what about the storage net on the right side of the transmission tunnel?

Oh no! No one drives this car but me!!!!!!!! She is always a passenger in this car. I guess since the storage net is there and she doesn't use it that that is not convenient enough to easily reach the phone....

I bet the same will be true for any other little caddy you add.

FWIW...
I use the normal leather belt clip pouch designed for my particular phone.
(just found one I liked at one of those mall kiosks)

I rotate the belt clip so that it clips ^up^
& clip it to the side of the center console where it meets the carpet.

The only thing I did was cut off the flap that goes over the phone when used as a belt clip.
Works great & the black leather matches the interior better.

This little pocket gadget has coarse velcro that you slide the leading edge up under the lip of the center consol so the consol puts preasure against it and if it were to damage the carpet, it would be up under the colsol so you would not see it anyway... I store my nano and my cell there... the displays for both can get really screwed up if left in direct sun light... I live in south florida...

probably cause the bluetooth on the car sucks...can't get the people on the other end to hear anything. I haven't even tried my new blackberry with it yet...cause its so worthless.
