Okay guys, I drive a 2008 subie outback. The car doesn’t have Bluetooth and im too cheap to buy a new radio. I use a Bose Flex to listen to podcasts and music when nothing comes in. I need a little stand probably 3D printed. It will sit on the dash so it needs some stability. Can anyone help?
Dimensions for SoundLink Flex speaker:
3.6" H x 7.9" W x 2.1" D (1.3 lbs)
 
3m dual lock might be an easier and cheaper experiment. Start with a small amount as it holds really well, you can always increase the size of the pieces as needed.
 
Spartan mount makes/sells one for your speaker, just need a place to mount it to the dash/something else

No glue I want to take the speaker off the dash in the heat and shady Denver/Aurora.

Velcro maybe. It’s on a Stanley pick pad.

That Spartan mount might work if I can add a few feet to the bracket.

Thanks everyone!

3m dual lock is not a glue. It’s like Velcro but will hold better.
 
How are you wanting to mount this? Or what would you change about the spartan mount?
 
It just sits on top of my dash. The Spartan mount would need some feet to keep the speaker from rocking back and forth.

Something like this. Maybe not as good as my amazing sketch but it’s worth a try.

Well that makes a lot more sense that what I was thinking! Some days are a struggle lol
 
Thanks for everyone’s ideas and help. I ordered the Spartan mount and think with some help it will work. I used their $5 off email coupon. I’ll let you all know.
 
I know it's not the answer you're looking for, but if your stereo has an aux port you can plug one of these into it:

I paid like $15 for it and listen to podcasts in my work truck. Velcro to the dashboard, tucked the excess wire behind the plastic trim around the stereo. No regerts.
 
Oh yeah. I bet you do have an aux input hiding in your center console. Though I bet you also have a reason why that's not an option for you?
