First you carefully pull out the plastic trim piece with a nylon pry tool



There is a metal tab on the bottom of the KUDA mount that lines up behind the trim piece. It takes some force to fit the mount into place but it is just pressure fit. You are supposed to bend the metal tab once installed but mine is snug enough that I didn't feel the need to.



Then you just pop the plastic trim piece back in place. BTW sorry for the coffee stains, just realized they where there...

The KUDA mount is actually a hollow fiberglass/plastic shell covered in leather. Before you install the mount you need to attach the ProClip or whatever you decide to use. I marked the holes from the ProClip base onto the KUDA mount and drilled four small holes into it so I can screw the ProClip holder in place.

I bought the ProClip that comes with the cigarette plug/USB cable integrated and disconnected the 12v adapter. Then I just ran the wire between the seat and console and into the USB port under the armrest so I can get full USB connectivity to iDrive for apps, etc.
