I have the same mount and I can reach it fine with my 5'10" stature. I went with the universal mount rather than the phone specific one as I like to have a case on mine.

For charging I bought a 12V + dual USB socket for $8 at Walmart. The USB ports charge at 2.1A each or 3A total and it is the only charger that will charge my phone at a decent rate while running Waze with the screen on. I hard wired the new socket to the cigarette lighter wiring and mounted the socket under the glove compartment. It works like a charm, universal and I can charge two phones and have a spare socket for whatever else I might need without having to keep my center console open.

after much deliberation I have picked up the same phone mount as Arrie currently uses and outline in this thread.
Thanks for everyone's input

Finally installed and it's perfect. Well designed and easy to install.
Thanks to those who chimed in.

For the console mount, does it only mount on the passenger side? Can it mount on the driver side of the console?

GregTR

It only mounts on the passenger side as it is directional and hooks into the glove compartment.

I am still waiting for mine. The Note3/Nokia 1520 sized mount is back ordered.

There are other versions that might work if you don't like the console mount. There is a lower mount for the console and one for the left side of the dash as well if memory serves me correctly.

I still like mine.

Couldn't find this on proclip anymore...
In the end, I ordered KUDA mount, will arrive next week; hope it will fit 2014 model.

I was looking for "dmighty" that kind; I bough w212 proclip dashboard center mount two weeks ago but returned it right away.
Reasons,
- missing screws
- installation method - don't want to see gap under screen
- the way they glue the "mount" - piece by piece

I had proclip on my previous BMW E60 530I for more than 5 years, liked it so much; strong enough to hold Ipad first generation.
After I switched to W212, proclip was first place I searched for mounting bracket; however, the design for w212 center mount, not fitted my expecting. Anyhow, it is my personal experience, you may like proclip center mount.

Take a look at Arkon.com They have a great product line covering A-Z.

got it today...

How do you mount a phone to that? Looks like there is more to it. I'm looking into doing this and love the look of that mount. Does it get in the way of the passenger?

sigx5

see pictures for final result...
to hold the phone, I use Proclip for my Samsung Note 3 Holder with Tilt Swivel; http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-hold..._leftorright=0; make sure you have the right selection for "with or without" cover/case.

Looks great! Like it even more because it's not covering the air-conditioning vent.

MBSebas87

Considering this!

I like big phones and I currently have an xperia T2 Ultra which is a six inch phone. Can't find a lot of car phone holders that can fit this phone.

Finally, I found one that works great for me. It's called the imagnet... not sure if you guys heard of it but anyway, here's their link.

Now that is pretty slick and a lot cheaper than my Proclip in the SLK.

Alex.currie44

Have to agree. I have the console side mount from Proclip in the SLK.
You have to be very specific on the holder for your phone and type of case.
The only issue I had with it was the hook that goes behind the trim was not so good and easily could be knocked off.
A strategically placed black broad head self tapper fixed it.
I don't use one in the W212. I find the BT works good for most thing so it sits under the screen on the IP. If I want more access to the music on my iPhone I plug it in to the connector in the glove box

IMO, smartphones are an incredible distraction and shouldn't be near the driver. I plug mine into the media interface when I get in so it can charge, and I can start 'My Top Rated' playlist running, and pretend it's not there until I get out again.

Alex.currie44

You can leave it in your pocket, sound off and do the same thing.
In my SLK I have to stop and program the destination because Siri sucks but it is my nav system in that 14 yr old car. The irony is that Google Maps and Directions are easier to set up and with the voice directions playing through the HK system it is better in many respects than the MB Nav.
In addition, the maps on Google Maps are far more up to date.
Those of us who have to do map updates using the disc always will have maps at least 2 yr out of date and that comes from the supplier to MB.

Looks like Proclip discontinued the console mount (between radio and glovebox)

I was wondering the same thing as I didn't see that one on their site anymore. Seemed like the best one too.

I'll put mine up for sale when my car is due for turn in later this year.
