Cell phone car mount

Finally found one that works perfect for me on the center vent. No magnets, no sticky tape and fits all phone sizes. It rotates 360 degrees and side to side, so you can position your cell display portrait or landscape. Easy to attach and remove cell all times. At the end there is a link to a video.

Mine is a lease so I did not want to have holes and also did not want to block the vents.
If you have a passenger, they have to keep their knees a bit away from it.
I am very happy with it.
I have the standard piano black center console. It fits perfectly on there. Not sure how it would fit in a wooden center console, since a part slides under the console.
Regards,
Gerrit

Careful with vent mounts, I find they lower temperature (when on AC) to below the operating temp of the phones (like a metal iphone) and the phone will freeze and shut off randomly

Pretty much just close whatever vent the phone is in front of. When I drive long distances I have Escort Live running with the screen on so the phone is staying warmer than just sitting idle.

Because I'm using a Mophie battery case, which makes my 6S Plus very heavy, I went this route. It's the Belkin car cup mount.

I missed this thread before. I am still looking for something I like.
Personal taste - but I like the phone to be out of the way, not blocking vents, and not forcing me to keep the cup holder open - which looks awesome when closed.
ProClip has one for the wood interior like mine, but it looks really odd to the passenger. (The picture doesn't show the wood, but this is from the instructions for the wood interior model)
And yes; I know I am being particular. Isn't that why we bought a Mercedes?

At this stage I am trying to hack a custom mount using a vent-mounting version and parts from a local hardware store.

Just installed the ProClip with phone holder - it's a perfect fit, phone holder is excellent and very stable. Looks fantastic IMO, best solution for this car.

Yeah, ProClip is expensive but it's the cleanest look. I got a "drop in" cradle for my IPhone so it slides in with one hand and is connected to the car for audio and power.

Thanks

So I used it driving for the first time today. It's a bit further out of my eye sight than I'd prefer but I think it's the best of the options out there.

Right, so by drop in I mean you can slide the phone into the cradle with one hand and have it connected to the car for power and data. I think the IPhone cradle with integrated Lightning adapter was $80 or so. I ran the cable back behind the mount down to the lower edge of the center console, then tucked it under alongside the passenger seat, then up the back of the console and inside to the USB port. I want the USB vs Bluetooth Audio for quality, and I like being able to charge the phone without having to slide it into the mount then fish around for the cable and hook it up each time.

Successful and great mount
Hi all
I was looking everywhere to mount my phone - but could not find a solution that was neat and also had an active mount (charged my iPhone when docked).
I came up with mounting a dash board disc to the space shown at start of thread and the used a suction cup mount with adjustable arm and an active mount on it. Works perfectly. Holds well enough that you can dock phone to charger one handed and use phone in dock without it moving.
I used:
Disc was 85mm, as slotted in well beside plus screen reducing movement - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252834050726
Mount is for an iPhone 5, but used with 6/ and now using with iPhone 7plus, it is active so when docked it charges at same time (although will not allow a case on plus models - not that i use cases!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142133788947

I love a good magnet mount
sure, you have to use a case. But the magnetic piece you put in the case is very slim

When I was in France I saw a C300 taxi with the phone mounted directly to the left of the screen, as someone who uses Waze that would be the best position but I wasn't actually in the taxi it was driving ahead of us.
I've outlined the area here
What kind of mount could go there?

This thread just came up tonight with a mount that appears to fit our needs perfectly. No damage or adhesive required! Ive placed an order and will let you know but the post may answer all of your questions.
