Tablet mounting options! Lets see them!

Hey guys!
I am about to make the switch to MHD for my single turbo and would really like to figure out a mount for my Nexus 7 somewhere in the car so I can monitor the gauge display they offer.
Open to any and all suggestions.

When it comes to sturdy mounts that seat bolted one is definitely the best.

However I use one of these:

with my Note 4 and absolutely love it. Solid mount and puts it in a great location for the 1 series. It covers the stereo screen a tiny bit but I'm never looking at that anyway.

Anyone without the storage pocket actually do the cut and install?
Also, I've emailed that seller about that housing requesting US shipping but no response.

They won't ship outside of Europe.

Best bet is to get is shipped to a UK based freight forwarder.

US cars without Nav got no sort of pocket at all. Just a flat dash with no hole

There are plenty of guys who have made DIY templates to cut the dash. Otherwise there is an OEM BMW template floating online somewhere
