Installation Instructions
The installation process is quick and does not require special tools or modifications to your vehicle's interior. Follow these steps carefully:
Step 1: Identify Installation Area
Refer to the diagram to locate the precise installation point for the ProClip. It is designed to fit on the left side of the dashboard, adjacent to the A-pillar, providing optimal visibility and access.
Step 2: Prepare the Dashboard Trim
Carefully pull back the rubber trim along the A-pillar to expose the edge of the dashboard where the ProClip will be inserted. This creates the necessary gap for the bracket's lower edge.
Step 3: Insert the Lower Part of the ProClip
Insert the lower, curved edge of the ProClip into the gap between the dashboard and the A-pillar trim. Ensure it slides in smoothly and is seated firmly.
Step 4: Secure the Upper Part of the ProClip
Once the lower part is in place, gently but firmly press the upper part of the ProClip into the seam of the dashboard. The bracket is designed to clip into place without damaging the vehicle's interior. Some models may include adhesive strips for additional security; if present, remove the backing and press firmly.
Step 5: Verify Installation
After installation, ensure the ProClip is stable and does not move. The bracket should be firmly attached to the dashboard. You can now attach your desired device holder (sold separately) to the flat surface of the ProClip.
Operating the ProClip
The Brodit ProClip serves as a base for various device holders. Once installed, you can attach any compatible Brodit device holder directly to the flat mounting surface of the ProClip. These holders typically secure with screws or a quick-release mechanism, providing a stable and accessible location for your smartphone, GPS, or other portable electronic devices.
Maintenance
The Brodit ProClip is constructed from durable black ABS plastic and requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bracket with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the plastic finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the bracket for any signs of wear or loosening. Ensure it remains securely fastened to the dashboard.
Troubleshooting
- Bracket feels loose: Re-check the installation steps, ensuring both the lower and upper parts of the ProClip are fully engaged with the dashboard seams. Apply firm pressure during installation.
- Difficulty inserting the bracket: Ensure you are pulling back the trim sufficiently and aligning the ProClip correctly with the vehicle's specific dashboard contours. Do not force the bracket, as this may cause damage.
- Device holder not attaching: Verify that your device holder is compatible with the Brodit ProClip system and that any screws or attachment mechanisms are properly aligned and tightened.
