The BEST SMARTPHONE MOUNT for GLC300 SUV???
Greetings All!
I have a 2024 GLC300 SUV. Disappointingly, Android Auto does NOT allow me to "mirror" all of my apps to the big screen in the car, so I need to mount my Samsung S21.
But, due to not having the standard (rectangular) vents that our GLE350 has, it's more difficult to find a suitable mount.
I'm seeking advice from anyone who has a phone mount in their 2023 or 2024 GLC300 SUV they are happy with, the manufacturer, and how to obtain it.
Thanks in advance for any constructive guidance.

because of the "different" interior design of the car, the only one I got to work that felt stable was
proclip (my favorite brand that i have with my other 3 cars) didn't offer anything, and had no plans to, at least as of a year ago.

Thank-you for responding. Due to so little feedback on this subject, I ordered this one
2 days ago. I like the idea of having the phone right between the two screens. The holder won't get here for at least 3 weeks though. I think the company (person?) makes them when an order is received!

fyi: Ordered on April 21st / Arrived May 10th. (Link to product on Amazon =
)
The CONCEPT is superb. The bracket slips down on the instrument gauge panel, and the phone mount itself is positioned slightly above the Ignition button. In fact, you can raise and lower the mount(your phone) about 3 inches using a corkscrew attached to the mount.
While the CONCEPT is great, the application of it is not as good. Because the phone's weight is on the right side of the bracket, the left side of the bracket rises up off of the instrument gauge panel when you place the phone in the mount and it clicks to grip the phone. The left side rises about 1/8th of an inch. As you drive, the weight of the phone causes the left side of the bracket to slowly rise higher and higher, until it's lifted up about 1/2 inch off the instrument gauge. It's a see-saw effect. If the bracket were a really tight fit, this wouldn't happen. But then there could be damage to the glass on the front of the panel, maybe.
Anyway, I fixed this by purchasing strong 2-sided clear tape, and placing about 4 inches of it inside the mounting bracket on the left side, and pressed it down on the instrument gauge. The tape works great and is out of sight, on the upper back side of the instrument gauge panel, holding the bracket down firmly.
I provided extensive feedback in my Amazon review of the mount, and also sent that review to the bracket's manufacturer. Hopefully, he/she will take it seriously and make the bracket's quality and fit/finish higher quality, worthy of being used on a Mercedes Benz.
