They are easy to install and remove and if you install an active cell phone holder/car dock, the wiring can easily be hidden in the mount. I used this in two past cars and was very happy...looked nearly OEM. Haven't purchased yet for new g37, but am considering.

Because this mount seems to cover the phone when not in use, I see no difference from just placing the phone in the center console where there’s a plug. And it’s free.

It doesn't cover the phone, its just a base plate for the mount

Thinking of getting the Proclip. Although I like that the Kuda is leather wrapped, I don't like that it requires dismantling the dash clips to install - my old car was a rattlecan, so I'm hoping to avoid anything that could create new rattles in the new ride!!!

I haven't figured out a good way to use my Kenu in the G. Doesn't ever really feel secure like it did in my last car... Got a pic of where yours is mounted?

I keep it on the vent to the left of me. Seems very secure. I'll take a pic tomorrow.

i use the iOttie One Touch - the suction cup is made of silicone "grippy" material, and the suction is strong. it will grip to textured dashboards and even slight curves (as long as the dash isn't slathered in greasy protectant). i had it mounted to the *side* of the instrument pod of my last car and it didn't budge.

i don't have it mounted all the time because i don't like clutter - just for when i need Nav from my phone when i don't trust the maps in my 2013 - map data is probably from 2011 or so.

i attach it right on top of the instrument pod at eye level, because down lower is too distracting/dangerous.
