Cell Phone Mount

Hey Team,

I tried searching but I couldn't easily find anything. What kind of cell phone mount do you call use?

I tried the one that goes into the CD player but I wasn't a fan.

Photos would be helpful.

Thanks!

Take a look at Car Phone Holders and Dashboard Phone Mounts - ProClip USA top notch stuff. Used to use them for everything from phones to PDA's. Haven't had the need to use them for a while but you buy the holder for your device then the matching piece for your car. I have never had anything come loose or fall out. A tad pricey but so is a iPhone7 hitting the floor.

I have this mounted on the lower left corner of the windshield.

Amazon Amazon

The ball is universal and most times it holds my garmin rather than the phone.

Another option is to check out rammounts. They are the Cadillac of all things mount related.

When I had an iphone 5 it fit in the pocket hole next to the cigarette hole. But now I have an iphone 7 so I just stuck a piece of double sided tape next to the dash

Thx for sharing this option.

I would be interested in an option that does not interfere with A/C vents, and that any modifications can be undone.

Have not found anything that meets my preferences.

Currently, using the cup holder as best possible until a someone can share a better solution.

The mounts on ProClips for a G37 do not interfere or have modifications.

I don't have mine mounted very often so I just use one like this. Can easily be found under $3 if you're willing to wait on shipping, or for like $8 off Amazon or the like.

I'm surprised none of you have mentioned this one!
Amazon Amazon
It's made specifically for our car. You actually have to remove the radio and screw it in. I love it! Placement is perfect. And while most then attach one of those fixed, spring loaded mounts, I went with a magnetic one like this:
Amazon Amazon
You just adhere the magnetic base to the metal mount and then adhere the thin metal plate to your case. I love how I can attach and detach the phone with much ease, and angle the phone to my exact liking.
All in all, the best setup I think.

i don't like the positioning of the Proclip / permanent mount things - puts the phone too low. i like it more eye-level for Nav, etc.

i have an iOttie 1-touch that i removed the holder from and replaced with a magnet mount.
