I am looking for a good cell phone mount to have my phone within easy access in the car.
Is there anyone who can recommend a good looking, not too bulky one?

Koomus Magnetos Universal CD Slot Magnetic Cradle-less Smartphone Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6 6+ 5 5S 5C 4 4S iPod touch

only drawback: requires a case (any) for the magnetic strip.

Thank you!!
I couldn't find a mount that had a footprint small enough to fit anywhere on the mid console. Didn't think for a second I could make use of the (useless) cd-slot.

I personally wouldn't do that one because it blocks all your Command Buttons.


This one is amazing. I put it on the center vent of my C400 and just shut off the air. Looks almost Factory. Surprises everyone

I have both of these and I recommend them. I talked about them in a thread that is just like this one. They are aethestically pleasing to the eye and they match the aluminum that is everywhere inside the car.

I am using magnetic ball from Nite Ize. The only downside is, you have to install the phone socket at the back of your case.

That's the one I use too. It's pretty slick actually. Low footprint requirement gives you more flexibility on mounting points.

I didn't want any tape leaving marks on my W205. I found a cell phone mount on Amazon that fits that requirements. I use the left vent in my car. while not perfect, it does the job.

Pro clip / double sided tape..charges in cradle

Geggan

Thank you for all the suggestions.
I have ordered both the cd-slot and the air vent type. I see which one I like most.

@Nanook: Are you watching Hell Freezes Over while driving ?

Nanook

No not driving..I have not added that option/software to keep the video active while moving..see no use (for me anyways)...but the sound over the HK is stellar !!

Do you have a picture of you have it on the center vent? I just got it and it doesn't quite fit with the knob in the way. Thanks.

Do you have any pictures of this on your car?

Hey there, sry, i am still waiting on the delivery of my car, one more week again.

I came across that product while researching, I didn't purchase it as yet!

hungasaurus

Ahh I see. Maybe I will be the guinea pig. I will post pics when I receive it.

Just a warning, the Logitech vent one doesn't work for the W205 vents.

The Logitech mount requires to be pushed in fairly deep into the vent, which means that the adjust knob in the middle of the vent protrudes further out which in result doesn't allow for the phone to make a solid contact with the Logitech magnetic clip.

hungasaurus

Did you end up getting the mount? lol. I never ordered it.

I am still waiting on my car delivery!!!
I'll use the phone without the mount first. So i can truly appreciate the interior with out any interruptions.
If i think i need a mount, then i'd purchase the slot mount.

One drawback to the mount is the magnetic strip, I don't use cases on my phone, Period! I like the feel of my iphone in my hand, hell, that's why i paid so much money for it. So stinking a magnetic strip would leave my phone looking strange!

hungasaurus

Ah I see. I actually have the metal strip because I was using a mount that was attached to the a/c vent. Those mounts do not work with the w205. Sigh....

This one should fit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-360-Car-Air-Frame-Vent-Mount-Cradle-Holder-Stand-For-Cell-Phone-GPS-/201330219478?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ee03759d6

Personally i just leave my phone in my pocket and use the bluetooth connection for talking. phone holders are so out of date

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?

Jay_Chicago

This one maybe? But you have to stick the holder to your panel

Hey guys, it is clear that there are not a lot of options for us with this car and its vents. I am in the group that does not want to leave any residue behind in their car. Also, while I like the CD slot mounted options out there (and there are a lot of them), I do not like how it blocks the buttons. I had one in my 335 for a while and it permanently "dented" the dust guard felt at the opening to the CD slot.

It is a bit bulky and wipes out a cup holder, but for longer trips when I have Waze or Escort Live running, I use this:

Otherwise I just leave the phone in an empty cup holder till something cool comes out that works better.

Glad to see this topic still open. I cannot find anything that looks just right in this car. Anyone else have pic of what they're using?
