I have an indoor/outdoor thermometer to keep track of how hot the back of my Expedition gets. I drive pretty regularly with two dogs in the back, and over the summer and winter the temps can get a little extreme.

I need to be able to take it out to keep an eye on it remotely (it has about 1/4 mile range) but also have it not rolling around while I drive.

There was a coin holder there that I popped out, and used as a template for an insert to keep this mounted semi-permanently.

Printed with kinda crappy Amazon Basics PETG. If it holds up well, I’ll reprint it with better quality black PETG so it matches the car better.

    Looks nice. Silver works too as it matches the device. Pretty specific application, but urge you to share it somewhere - someone will find it useful.

      Yeah, the clip mount is actually the useful part, cause a few of the Fords since 2018 have the same coin holder, and people can use that as a basis for other options.

      Once it’s done I’ll share that part, and maybe the whole thing as two separate files.
