Mobile phone holder, mid console

[500AMM]

Hello.

I have a mobile phone holder in the Limited mounted on the right side of the mid console. The phone adapter is for a "vintage" Nokia 6210 or something. I'm taking this out along with all the electric options in the car like; radio/CD, TV, navigation, CD-shifter, hands free, different antennas etc... (I'm going to clean up and look for a replacement Becker and hopefully find the OE CD-shifter for the trunk.)

I guess the phone adapter can be replaced with any kind, so it is the leather bracket which is interesting. That small speaker is attached with doublesided tape. I have a pending sale on it so my question is - what is such a mobile holder/bracket worth?

Thanks

Kuda Engineering in Europe (and Kuda America) -- Google them for more info -- sells these exact holders for around $65-90. I have one in my E500, look at my interior photos in my PWNER thread. I've used it as an iPod mount.

Had it for about 9 years, black leather covered. Good quality, and certainly still available for the 124 via Kuda's web site. They make them for all MBs custom-fitted for the car's interior. Even 126s....

As for cost for one, I'd say perhaps $25-40 USD used.

Cheers,
Gerry

Thanks Gerry!

I did a quick search and found the US Kuda; http://www.kudausa.com/mercedes-e-w124-85-95-black-a517.html

I guess the price here in Morepay would be closer to $150 for a new one.

Just looking at the Kuda option, which URL now seems to be

It looks like you actually have to screw their attachment into the center console, is that correct?


If so, I'm wondering about a windshield suction model, such as this one

I’ve used the Kuda Mount for the past 15 years. It only has one small screw that screws into the vertical carpet on the center console, not the console itself. If you remove it, there’s no damage or other sign that it was installed, as the carpeting pile hides any small hole that the screw would make. The Kuda itself sits on top of the console and side rail.

I think you can see it in my PWNER thread. A few times a year, Kuda has sales. I receive emails from them and have posted the sale codes in the past.

Nicely made product.

I use the iOttie windshield mount. Easy to install, easy to remove and inexpensive. Available on Amazon.
