good idea actually! the pad has got a mic in it!
this is actually a pretty easy install, the worst is ive never done this before
its held to the window by suction cap... they fail pretty quickly! dont trust a £100 odd piece of equipment in the hands of suction cap

no more nails
who needs a windscreen ... and no i mean connect that to the runner device ur making so u can twist and turn it in the direction towards the driver and there pretty strong them irobot things
bulkin in hand make sure if u make a sound for it to leave space for pusing buttons that are ont he edges (like on a phone ) should look well tho i think u should just fast and furious it and cut up ur passanger seat and set it up under it
