Has anyone found a good placement for their phone when plugged into CarPlay? Currently, I either jam the phone upside down into the cupholder or put it in the open space behind the USB port. I don’t really like doing that because it puts stress on the cord. I’d rather have them lay flat or hang. I’ve seen the cupholder mounts but that eliminates a cup holder. Wireless seems like the next thing, but that still leaves the question. Where do I place my phone?

I wish the CarPlay port was inside the center console. Then I could lay it flat and hidden. But I believe that’s only for charging.

I got myself a wireless Carplay dongle from Amazon. Eliminates the cable issues completely. Phone can be in my pocket or resting on cupholder cover.

I just use a 3 foot usb c cord with 90 degree connectors. I then put my phone in the space behind the usb port.

Specifically this one: Right Angle USB C 3.1 Extension Cable

My 2024 GLB35 has a wireless CarPlay and place my phone in my pocket.

what is the best dongle?

Not sure about the best but the Ottocast has been fairly reliable for me. Connects within a few seconds and have not faced intermittent disconnections. YMMV.

I use Motorola MA1 wireless android adapter, which works great, but it does drain the phone battery.
