Redneck Workaround: Clock and Navigation System

[Eherim]

Cut a wooden block in the right shape. Paint it with silver paint and black ink for a nice finish.
Attach it to your dashboard with tough glue and perhaps a tiny screw. Attach velcro on top.



Bye a cheap watch. This one cost around 3$.


Or attach a smart phone for navigation. The angle on the wood block ensures that you get a clear picture when looking at the screen.


Works perfectly.

Pretty good, Eherim! Looks right. You might want to spif up that black plastic with Turtle Wax vinyl treatment available at Wal Mart and auto supply stores. Makes that kymco "tupperware" look brand new.

Happy to see theres more then one red neck here. I do some stuff like that all the time cheaper then going to the store and spending some coin.  Nice job.

Thanks for the nice comments. And the nice tip with the "Turtle Wax vinyl treatment"-thing. I sure will do that. Thankies.

I found out that those navigation systems drain the battery of a smart phone pretty quickly.
Therefore a USB charger like this would be nice to attach.

It has two wires. If I want to put it on the dashboard, where should I attact these wires to? A photo/video/drawing of how to do it would be much appreciated.

Before i bought my kymco, i thought it came with a clock. Said so on my dealers website. I bought it and no clock, i was just a fuzz disappointed. Oh well.  After i saw this, i might someday try it   Huge round clock cracked me up!

  Huge round clock cracked me up!

The only thing better would be an old fashion wind up alarm clock with the big metal bells on top.
THAT would be a definite conversation starter!!
