[QUOTE="ironbutcher_x, post: 5257820, member: 213076"] no no, u missed the point. a phone holder is either which sticks to the windscreen like a radar detector which i use or sticky onto top of ur dash or, on the A/C vent. but i suggest u get the A/c vent thing, dont use it as it is as if u break hard, the whole thing comes down crashing onto the floor. just run a wire tie ( network cabling thingy), two better, one for each side and lock it in place. u cant remove it afterwards. the A/c vents are always lower than the dash anyways. but u might loose some cooling effect as it covers one vent partially. as for phone and external antenna, thats suicide. e71 better, can pass as a phone, like i said earlier. toggle a quick press button activation for garmin and familiarise urself with how to hide the garmin when approaching a checkpoint by pressing the d pad. and lastly pray that it doesnt speak, left turn ahead or checkpoint ahead when stopped. suggest u keep the music on half way also, so u can jokingly say, weird music these days no kiyala. i use it in colombo. got stopped one time at night, army guy ok, its mounted on the A/c vent and it was showing the map. he looked at it and didnt ask me anything, but if he asked me, id say, its a screen saver to keep the display from burning up. they dont know jack anyways... with regard to gps. no cop/army what ever can take ur gps if its a phone as it doubles as a phone. but dedicated gps, u have no way to hide its true purpose. go read other forums in elakiri, where one guy i think its malaka, got stopped at a checkpoint and polic asked what that is, he was using a laptop and a gps antenna which has to sit on ur dash. and he said what it was. the cop said its illegal and let him go. he was lucky. dedicated gps devices are a no no unless u want to go to jail. a phone gps u can. read other posts on gps phones here. its funny to read. besides its illegal to bring a dedicated gps marked 'gps or garmin' to srilanka. but u can bring down a gps phone to sl hand carrying it. thats legal. a funny thing happened to me the other day. i was going down nawala road, and u get a checkpoint at the bridge ok. i had my gps runnin but no destination set, so it auto dims after time out. i thought i was gonna get pulled over. luckily for me, he didnt. but soon as i passed the place where u pull over and hand ur ID and shit, the phone sudenly said ' satellite reception lost'. i thought fuck,... lucky break... as usual, dont turn vol up 100%, keep at 80 or 60. for e71, 60 is ok. for 5800 need to go to 80 as i cant hear it otherwise. have ur music on halfway also, as that way u can jokingly say its the music... dont stall though ok...
