What do you use the tray above the cupholders for?
mclarenf3 replied to MrBlack's topic in Legacy Photos (2015+)
Very jealous of your Android Auto built in. I have my phone on a mount running Android Auto, but it's not the same. -

Now that the summer months are here and I don't have as many pockets available, I generally put my keyless fob in there. I find it fits it perfectly, and I imagine that's what it may have been made for. -
I second this, and suggest you use the plastic push pins instead of nut/bolt/washer. I installed mine with nuts, bolts and washers and it was on there solid. That was the problem though. I accidently bumped it, and because it was so securely connected to the bumper it ripped it off the bottom leaving a gaping hole where each of the front bolts were attached. Because I used washers, the holes that were left were huge, and mounting anything under there was pointless unless I got a new bumper. Had I used the plastic push pins, there's a better chance that those would have snapped or released the lip, which would have caused less damage all around.

I always love your car. Same colour as mine, so it's awesome that I can see how it'll turn out. I'll likely do the rear bumper at the same time. But will leave the trunk lid and roof stock. I used plasti-dip on my JDM grill, and liked the results. Ended up re-doing it with (Rustoleum's) Flexi-dip. They are very similar, but I found flexi-dip to be a little more liquid as it goes on and I liked the results better. Flexi-dip looks a bit more rubbery once applied.

It's also basically the perfect size for that space. Most newer tablets have gone with the 8" screen with a different aspect ratio, which may not fit as well (or at all) in the cubby.

In the summer time when I don't have a jacket, I place my keys in there (keyless start). Otherwise, it sits empty as I don't like to have anything visible in those open areas when I leave the car. In a pinch, I have placed a phone in there and it fits perfectly for most small to medium sized phones (no Samsung Notes, or Pixel XLs). -
I'd be really happy if you want it, you've contributed a lot to this thread. Send me a PM with your ZIP code and I'll let you know the cost of shipping.

I upgraded my 2006 LGT to a 2015 Legacy 3.6R this summer. Since I was trading in my car, I put it back to stock. I have sold off the tablet, but I still have the custom cubby that I made to fit around the tablet. I'm going to take it to the recycling center in a week. If someone wants it, and will cover shipping costs, I'll happily ship it over (I'm in Vancouver, Canada). Here's some links of some pictures so you know what I'm talking about: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4109859&postcount=129 http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/tablet-pc-carputeri-149420.html?p=4103989#post4103989 I can include the ProClip mount as well if you like (just the mount for the car, not the part that mounts to the phone).

Official Carbide Gray Metallic Thread (2015+)

Welcome to LGT.com! I know the feeling, I just got the same car (but 2015) a few weeks ago. -
That one is called Car Home Ultra. There's a free version and a paid one I believe. I have the paid one, and have been using that on my tablet for years now. It works quite well on my phone too. Very customizable, and allows automation for things like starting and stopping when the car powers on and off, along with a bunch of built in features that are good to have. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome&hl=en

It's been a few days now with this setup, and I'm very comfortable and happy with how easily it works. Here's a quick video of how simple it is placing it in the cubby and removing it. https://goo.gl/photos/hdHqQ4g6uHAKa6H88 The reason I have to swipe the phone is because of my lock screen settings. However with Android Auto, it actually turns the screen on and shows the app without and swipes.

Out with the new and in with the old? I've reverted back to stock now, as I had to rip everything out for the airbag recall. Since I'm going to sell the car in the new future, and don't think it adds any value to the car I'm leaving it stock. That being said, I've added a couple of magnetic mounts into the cubby, and a magnetic micro USB charging cable. Added all the same software to my Android phone (Samsung Active S6) and it's basically the same experience on a smaller screen. The nice thing is I'm not worried about power management anymore, the phone goes with me when I leave, and there's no fiddling with cables as it all magnetically snaps into place.
