Finally figured out where to store my sunglasses

I’ve been looking for the best place to keep my sunglasses in the car, and I think I finally found it! I originally tried using USB cable clips but didn’t like the idea of charging my phone from the front USB. I also tried a sunvisor clip, but my head kept hitting it, which was annoying. This new spot works perfectly!

I’ve also got a wireless android auto dongle and a wireless charger setup for my phone that works great.

Officially, I guess they’re supposed to be USB cable routing clips, but I really hate the idea of charging my phone off the front USB like that. I made a sunvisor sunglasses clip, but my head kept hitting it, terrible place. This spot is most excellent!

A wireless android auto dongle + using the wireless charger is perfect on my phone.

I turned off the wireless charger. It kept overheating my phone.

I am currently using this one, which ranges between $35-40 in price (after clicking the coupon) Amazon.com: Wireless Carplay and Android Auto Adapter with Fast Stable 5Ghz WiFi Bluetooth, Wireless Carplay Adapter for Apple Applies to Cars After 2016 & Phone with Android11+/ iOS10+ & USB-A/Type-C : Electronics

It’s working pretty perfectly for my setup.

There is another I have on order that has more features, and I will try it out to see if I can replace it. It will get here tomorrow, by TIMEKNOW

Do you keep it plugged into the USB always or remove it?

It stays always plugged in, no reason for me to ever remove it.

Thank you for this! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while.

They have a deeper one that I think takes better advantage of the space.

I like the hiding space underneath.

I keep mine in the driver’s side door handle recess or in the lower center console organizer.

I feel like it’s super easy to bump them off?

It’s not bad, I don’t really move in that area when driving. Compared to where I had a sunvisor clip before, my head would always knock my sunglasses around when I had it stored there.

Been using it for several years now :ok_hand::ok_hand:
