Luv my proclip! Easy to install and u don't have to use the adhesive on the mount. it mounts to the right of the Temp controls. I will try to remember to take a pic of it.

My concern with what I think you have (dont have the part # handy) is that the passenger can't see the control for their temperature dial.

I have #834862 - but it's going back as did not realize it wont fit with models with Navigation.

Curious if you could upload a photo.

Um, yeah, the dial is slightly obstructed, but not terribly so. They could just move the phone to the right and change the temp and move it back. Doesn't completely block it, still accessible.

they give u plastic wedges and it just slides in and clips on. There is also an adhesive strip, but I did not use it, doesn't really need it. I don't believe they make it for the other side, besides, that would be annoying, leg would hit it.

Why won't it work with navigation? Is the console really different in that location? Been looking at clips and these look pretty good.

To the OP: I think its Kuda, not Kudo

Not a fan of the vent clip on ones, personally. I had that in my last car for my garmin.

Which Model Clip u Using Steamroller?? And do the Sides adjust to Go Wider or Closer? I like your Mount...I need one for my Air Bag suspension Wireless remote...Or can u recommend other clips that are adjustable and mount like this? I like this one where I don't have to drill to mount it.

Britzy - not sure why the Nav makes a difference. Their website does not mention it, but on the instructions for install it does say not meant with models with Nav. I confirmed with Proclips. It's not obvious, but guess there is a slight change in the design of the vehicles console that would prevent a correct install of the mount.

ProClip is basically a 2 part system, so on their website when ordering you choose which make/model car you have (this will determine the mount for the car) and then which type of phone. The arms are not adjustable as the 2nd piece is meant to fit specifically for a certain model of phone.

This doesn't really make any sense to me...I'm almost positive that the pillar beside the climate controls on a nav/non-nav model would be the same.

BTW I love my proclip (got the included charger as well) and am always using the "Waze" app on my android for navigation. It's awesome!

I have model 511428. I'm pretty happy with it. The sides adjust, so u could probably find something to work with ur remote. They sell different holders for phones dependent on the kind of case u use. Skin or bumper, small to medium, rugged(otterbox). Here is the link to the page with different holders Apple*iPhone 5 with a Case*Phone Holders*-*ProClip USA

Check out holders for different products as well. You might find something that works with ur remote.

PS-Sign up for email list. They also send me discount codes and sale info.

Regarding my comments about the fit due to having Nav console.
Agree, it looks like it should fit. Proclips told me there was a slight change in the design of the console with 2013 model year. I am returning, if I peel off the adhesive strip and drill holes, then I would not be able get a refund.
