I use one of those sticky rubber pads. It sits on the edge of the dash right above the screen.
It works pretty well, actually.

 

Google maps has real time traffic info for most streets. Everyone who runs Google maps helps add info to the traffic database.
If Google notices that 100 people in front of you are going 5mph, then the map is updated to show red which is bad traffic.

 

The Waze app not only warns of police ahead but also road hazards, pot holes, etc

thanks for the idea of the mountek just purchased.

 

I'm thinking of getting one also. Did you get the magnet type or clamp type? I have a pretty thick case and I wonder how well the magnet will grip, but it looks cleaner.

 

got the cd mount at amazon

 

They are both CD mounts, but one holds your phone with a magnet and a metal piece you put on the back of the phone, the other one has the more traditional clamp that grabs the phone.

 

I use the clamp style, but had to get one large enough for a Nexus 7 tablet in order to hold my Note 4 with case.

I have it all the way off to the left so it's not in the way. I do not have a charging cord that extends over there.

Also, placement of my mount has me wishing that Infiniti didn't tilt the whole steering column and gauges. Unlike my Maxima, which only tilted the steering column, my Infiniti bumps into my phone mount. I'd prefer to have it resting on top of the gauge cluster, but I can't as this cluster moves. It's not a big deal, I am less than a half inch above it, but would rather be on it.

 

If you wish to use a CD slot style mount for a phone, I'd recommend one of the two below. I've used a lot of different mounts of these styles and these are among the best I've used and reviewed:

FYI - All links below point to Amazon.




If you wish to use a larger device like your Note 4 up to a full size iPad or Galaxy Tab, go with the ExoMount tablet version below:

 

Have you tried the Mountek? The magnet attachment is something that your suggestions do not have. I'm wondering how well that works.

 

This is what I use and works great for me


Kenu Airframe+ - Kenu

 

That's good to know. I wondered if those would slip down on a vent with vertical slats.

Definitely smaller and simpler than the CD slot type mounts.

 

Yes I have - however I personally don't wish to adhesive a metal plate to the back of my phone case. Also I'm sure a light nudge would make the phone go flying off the mount. I wouldn't have that.

Good recommendation by Zo - Kenu makes some great products. That vent mount is nice and sleek.

 

It works great for me even though my S4 is a bit on the heavier side since I use a zerolemon extended life, oversized, battery with their oversized otter box type case. It does does swing a little left to right on sharp turns but I attribute that to the weight of the battery.

 

I heard on the news the other day that police across the country are being encouraged by their management to post phony information on Waze, reducing its effectiveness.
