This video shows you how to install a cell phone mount on your dashboard. Once you have purchased your mount, proceed with the installation.

In this case, you need to remove the passenger side dashboard panel. To remove the panel secured by three clips without leaving scratches or breaking anything, apply light pressure with a plastic trim tool.

Once the panel is removed, position the mount base in its space under the left clip. Drill three holes to secure it with screws, and finally, reassemble everything.
