Best Cell Phone Holder for w205

Finally found a cell phone holder that works great - no suction cups, adhesive, or clamps. Its on Amazon. I'm not a vendor selling this, just passing the information on. For some reason I can't create a link to this page so here's the way its listed on Amazon. Two different sized ones listed separately depending on the size of your screen. 8" is for pre facelift including 2018, 10" for facelift 2019 and later. The holder securely fits when pushed between the instrument cluster and screen. Its at eye level which makes it great for WAZE. The phone clip that comes with it is rather cheap but the holder has a 17mm ball that fits most other phone clips of better quality. I ran my phone wire hidden along inside side console edge to the usb connector inside the console storage box. Its listed as:

Mercedes Benz GLC, C Class Cellphone Holder (Before 2018 Model with 8inch Screen)

Not at all. I didn't use the provided phone clip which I thought was a cheap afterthought to what is a well designed holder base. I used a clip I already had from a different manufacturer. It fit perfect (17mm ball mount.) Go to the page. There are videos there which shows the holder.

I just leave it in my laptop bag as I rarely have any need to touch my cell phone while I’m driving.

Right cell phones are not for calls when driving. Running WAZE on your phone is altogether different. That's why you want the phone mounted easy to see WAZE so you don't have to take your eyes off the road.

Been looking for one of these - looks decent plus your vouch, so I ordered one. Thanks for the tip!

Please post your feedback once received. From the video I had the impession that this was made by a person with a lot of creativity and marketing savvy. The product confirms it. Mercedes could give it a part# and charge 4x the amount.

Oh, I make calls. I just use the Mercedes command system to do it.

I haven’t used WAZE. I will pop on sigalert San Diego on my tablet before I leave for work sometimes though and I generally know where I’m going so I rarely use the navigation systems in my cars.

I can see how this would be useful though.

WAZE is more than navigation. It's a free phone download. Other WAZE users report locations of police, accidents, road hazards, construction and... It all appears as icons on your map.

My biggest concern, after looking at the photos more, is whether my phone will actually fit in that location. Will post feedback when I receive.

The base has a post with ball mounting end on it. The ball extends past the screen and insrument cluster.

This thread has inspired me btw... working on a 3d print that will fit in the right cup holder in the front/center dash. I'm tired of plugging in and unplugging my phone to use android auto. Going to use a vertical mount that will use the USB cable, snake it down into the cup holder, and the usb connector will stick out in the "well" of the holder. That way, I can just plop my phone down, and it'll connect via USB... hoping to drop it in and out of the mount to make it as easy as possible for me to enter/exit vehicle.

It'll be a fun project and will probably take some prototypes before I get it working right for me. Will share the project files after I get some initial prototypes printed.

I've used Pro Clip in the past for my M3 and just got a cell phone mount from them for my ML 400. Works great
