No need cause I legally own the sole title to the GK. 
. My wife just uses it. Not dat she can't afford one on her own.

Speaking of the GK, I plan on doing a full detail this Spring including washing the engine bay throughly. Last time I left the 09 GE's engine bay unwashed and wat a mess dat was by the 5th yr.
In contrast, my 12 GE's bay has been washed every spring and it looks pretty clean still.

my wife drove me home after selling the GE last night and i was happy to see that she was using the proclip on her GK.
she says the thing is very convenient and solid.

this is the base, and you mount your device holder on top of it.

I still have the one on the left.. the iPhone cradle i use has a lightening connector tab so that i can charge it the moment i slide it into the cradle.

so i got a few people asking me why i sold the GE. just to be clear, i didnt sell the GE because i hated it. if i needed a small hatch right now, i would seriously buy back my car. lol
i used the car mostly for going to work, most of the time it was just myself in the car during the weekdays. also having 2 coupes as hobby cars i needed a hatch to carry my wheels and tires.. and other cargo. i usually buy a new set of wheels or tires every year and it was nice knowing i could schedule the mount/balance appointment any time i wanted.
weekends i would load up my family (wife and 2 boys) and go out shopping and stuff, for the most part no issue. but as my kids are getting older, obviously they are getting much heavier and the extra weight was burdening the brakes and overall performance of the car. For most folks probably no issue. but for me, i zip around town so it was getting to a point i just wanted a higher performance family car.
that was the only reason. no issue wat so ever with quality, warranty, etc. the car had zero problems and super reliable. ive done many roadtrips with it, 5-6hours one way in sub-0F weather. i did not get tired at all from the drive. great little car.
since my wife has the GK, and my kids are starting to outgrow their booster seats, it is a lot easier now to borrow her car, lay down the rear seats and go.. no need to have 2 hatches.

hey thanks.
if i do sell the proclip, i want to sell both the base and the cradle as a set. my cradle is this one: for iPhone6S without case (does not include lightening cable)
Apple iPhone 6s Without Case Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel for Cable Attachment*-*ProClip USA
base:
Honda Fit 2009-2014 ProClip Center Mount*-*ProClip USA
Total was 49.99 + 29.99 + shipping. considering it is only a few months old in like-new condition, i would sell for $60 local cash.
