Default Superchips Cortex Mount?

I've searched, but can't find anything about a mounting bracket to hold the Superchips Cortex while driving. I wouldn't mind using a cell phone mount that snaps into a vent if I could find one wide enough to work.

Anybody have anything that works that looks halfway decent?

I used to have a cell phone holder that worked perfectly for holding the cortex. It was one of the holders tht had the adjustable arms so it would work with different size phones.

I leave it in there too in case I get in the mood to do some data logging while I am out.

I never leave it in the truck unless I'm going in to a store for a short while. Never all day, especially in mid summer Phoenix heat. My teenager has ruined a couple of mp3 players leaving them in the car this way. Interestingly enough, he has left his PSP in my wife's car all year round for the last 4 years or so with no ill effects.

Back on topic... Well I was hoping for a brand name cell phone holder, as I have tried the 5 different cell phone holders we have laying around, and none of them fit. Maybe I'll just keep hanging it upside down from the a-pillar handle.....

I also found that the Cortex kind of fits nicely in the right hand bottom corner of the dash, where it covers the oil pressure and temp gauge. The rubber over mold of the Cortex helps it stay in place in normal driving conditions, but you have to watch it if you get on the gas hard.

I'm not sure what the cortex looks like or anything, lol, just using my imagination here....

Might not be what you're looking for, but what about one of those non-slip dash pads for cell phones and whatnot? I've ran across a couple that actually work well, keeps'em put. Just a thought....
