Bought and installed wireless charger. Looks a little weird "naked", but looks fine with the phone in the holder. No more having to try to connect the usb cable - just throw the phone on and am all set. Phone always in my line of sight, don't have to look down, it's always in my peripheral vision. Use it mainly for Waze, don't use for anything else when driving. Easy one hand put on take off. It's awesome.

Reminds me of my cell phone mount back in the early 90s!

Yeah, I purchased it the day before my CPO expired. But you can get it with or without CPO coverage. And yeah, it starts the day you get it.

me too!!

been eyeballing this "quick jack", and searched for reviews that may direct defects or price offset, seems like a solid product.

I do need to reorganize the garage space before doing quick jack (I got bikes and cars going on...).....another project ahead...

Purchased this:

Then I took bits from various old vent mounts and cross fitted it to the ball and socket end piece of the Iottie. Works great.

The vent mount bits I used is solid and will not slip off, similar to what is pictured - notice how tabs hook completely around the vent slat. You can find them on ebay for a few bucks, you just have to make sure that the ball fits the iotti socket

Very minor - finally purchased the official Porsche windshield sunshade, for the rare times when the car has to sit parked in the sun! Expensive (relatively) but very well made, of course.

I did a wireless magnetic charger which combines the best of the concepts above.

Installed Function-First shift **** and shaft. Also bought a silver **** which I intend to paint Carmine Red and fill the engraving with semi gloss black. Luka at Function-First was an absolute pleasure to work with.

looks good! Just ordered one myself. How much height adjustability is there? Yours looks a little low for my tastes but could also be the photo angle. I’m hoping for a little below stock height and also have the numeric racing SS to play with too.

Thanks! There is 1/2” of height adjustment and mine is at the lowest setting. According to their website, this shaft is adjustable +/- 0.25” from stock height, and mine is set at the lowest setting, 1/4” lower than standard which is not much, so probably the camera angle makes it look too short. I do like it there but may tinker with it some. Installing it was easy. One tip, start the set screws in their holes before you start the mounting process. Dumba** me didn’t do that and one of the set screws dropped in the tunnel and it took me close to an hour to locate it and then fish it out with a magnet. Another good idea is to put a microfiber towel (which I didn’t do) over the opening so if you do drop something it is easily retrievable.

Other folks have pointed out that the **** can get very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. For the summer I plan to drape a microfiber towel over it when it’s parked outside. For winter I guess it’s gloves. One last thing, I really do like the increased weight of the shifter and the size of the shift ****.
