in the video above where i talk about the side system install you can just make out the dock for my phone on the driver side door, it is a made up dock made with the suction cup and arm from a original Samsung galaxy 2 car dock, onto which i have put a universal brodit phone dock as my phone now need USB C and are larger.
The phone film strait back and can only be turned outwards a tiny bit, but mainly as i dident think of this option when i made it, and also the front camera which would be used are fairly wide angle.
The dock sit so close to the steering wheel i can touch the screen and not take my hand off the steering wheel if you pause the video above at 3:49 you can see the phone dock to the left of the head rest.
I have never tried it out, it is rare i get pulled over and when i do i get out of the car to face them as i have a hard time with people leaning in over me, + it is no problem to do that here in Denmark.
