G63
Question Phone Mount G63

Hey all, just optimizing my new G63 and wondering about phone mounts. There are SO many options and they all look terrible – plastic, sticky magnet mounts etc. Has anyone found a really great solution for a interior phone mount for the G63?

(Also side question: does CarPlay work wirelessly with bluetooth, or does it need to be USB connected?)

Weathertech makes a cup mounted phone holder that’s not bad, I keep my phone in my pocket. As far as I know, car play is wireless. My 2021 G 63 has been produced, but I don’t have it yet.

G63
I went with this one:
Amazon Amazon

Definitely seems like a cup holder mount is the way to go, given the position of the USB cable input, along with the G's dashboard.

i keep my iphone with a leather case wedged against the upper rear interior lip of the center cupholder. I'd love to find a mount that dangles the phone over the diff lock switches and mounds on the screen ledge above.

HAS A SIMILAR MOUNT FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DIFFERETIAL LOCKS AS WELL. YOU JUST ATTACH THE MOUNT FOR YOUR SPECIFIC PHONE TO THIS. NO SCREWS NO DRILLING. I HAVE ONE WORKS VERY WELL.

Anybody know anything about this one? Wireless charging mount with great reviews. Thinking of ordering one for my incoming 2021 G63. I want a mount that I can view and that also charges the phone while it's mounted.

the 2021 comes with wireless charging from the factory, I know you want a mount.

Here you go, the adhesive base has much smaller profile than the suction cup.

It seems there are quite a few of us that have Porsches...I had almost as much fun in the G today!

In regards to cupholder mounts they will only be applicable to the 2019+...pretty hard to out one in a net I guess.

Do you know where the wireless charging for the 2021’s will be located? If I can’t see the phone screen clearly while driving I would still need to get a wireless charging mount.

I know this is for a Porsche but it seems it could be used in a G?
