Default Magnetic Phone Holder

I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but I was looking for a good place to put a magnetic phone mount on my new-to-me '14 Panamera, and came up with this...

The built in passenger drink holder seemed like it was in a good place to hold the phone mount. I found an old stainless salt shaker, probably from Walmart or Target and cut it in half with an angle grinder mounted in a vice. This shaker had a good flat bottom for the peel and stick mount of the phone holder.

I used this $12

from Amazon

The stainless matches the other trim nicely and it seems to work pretty well. Since there is a power jack very close by inside the glove box, it will be easy to plug it in. My phone is tall and heavy, so it does move around slightly while driving but so far it stays in place while driving normal. I haven't tried any extreme G's yet. The viewing angle works well while driving but might be a bit far away if you have a phone with a small screen.
