For any big backs like me who eat lunch in their car while watching videos on their phone.

Gonna be fun turning 90-degree corners.

But that does look like a clean print.
What printer are you using?

Why? What's the point? I mean Ranger in all trim levels offers 100% phone integration via Car Play, Android Auto or (if you're kinda old fashioned) Bluetooth.

So the 'net can be surf'd while driving and some states have laws mandating the use of hands-free devices.

There is already an android auto app that lets you mirror your phone to the headunit and play videos/browser the internet/play games. this seems redundant

he said while eating lunch guys.

i understand the usage because loading the stuff to run fermata auto isn't the easiest if you are not decent with computer stuff.

i have the roam mount for my truck but i also have fermata auto so i can watch videos on the center screen

you have to download it from another place, not the app store because i don't think its on there. google a youtube video for it, there is a good one with links and tells you exactly what to do. i am not a computer guy and i was able to figure it out

Thanks. I went to the Google Play store, and didn't find what I wanted, so I'll follow your guidance.

I hope this is removed before driving. You placed an item in the path of the airbag deployment!
How do you convert a phone holder to a bullet? Mount it in the path of the airbag. Reminds me of when some people were machining aluminum decals to go on the center section of their Chargers steering wheel.

He said he uses it while eating lunch. I infer that he's not using it while driving. It looks easy to place and remove.
