Great Iphone mount for GLA

Amazon.com: Koomus CD-Eco Universal CD Slot Smartphone Car Mount Holder Cradle for Samsung Galaxy S5 S4 S3 Galaxy Note 3 Note 2 iPhone 6 6+ 5S 5C 5 4S 4 iPod Touch: Cell Phones & Accessories Amazon.com: Koomus CD-Eco Universal CD Slot Smartphone Car Mount Holder Cradle for Samsung Galaxy S5 S4 S3 Galaxy Note 3 Note 2 iPhone 6 6+ 5S 5C 5 4S 4 iPod Touch: Cell Phones & Accessories


I originally bought my wife a phone cradle to attach to the a/c vent in her GLA. The cradle didn't mount properly due to the round vents on the GLA. I ordered the above Koomus phone cradle that uses the CD slot on the car.

I put the mount in her car this morning. It took about 10 seconds to mount it and she is thrilled. It puts the Iphone 6 right where she wants it and it's simple to use. You can still play a CD if desired. I thought I would pass this on to the other GLA owners.

I'm going to order another one for my truck.

LOL, I just ordered it yesterday. It looks like this is the most integrated for a non destructive phone mount.

NO. The mount has a plastic tab that is flexed down to allow the mount to slip into the CD slot. The flexing of the tab creates enough friction to hold the mount securely. The phone is held in place with spring tensioned clamps. The phone is firmly secured and the mount is stable in the slot.
I can put the phone into the clamp with one hand and remove it the same way.

The design of this mount is pure genius. I am a guy that appreciates function and design. I now own 2 of these. Buy one and tell us what you think.

i guess i will. i was thinking this is going to screw up the mechanism inside the cd player, but it's been 10+ years since i last had a cd, so even if it does, it wont affect me much. maybe phone mounts like this is what mercedes thought about, when they put a cd player in the car?... who knows. might have been the determining factor to upgrade from a casette player.

Bluetooth

I just leased a GLA 250 without navigation. I ordered this phone mount to use my iPhone 6+ for the few time when I need navigation. Is there a way to link the Bluetooth to run the voice prompts through the car's speakers?

I got this for my 2017 GLA. It doesn't wobble and it's custom made for the dashboard. Doesn't block anything and it's in a great spot. Love it..
