2016 F56 Auto Mount for iPhone 6 Plus (?)

Hello friends,

I just got my new 2016 JCW 6MT and I'm loving life. Only thing is I'd love to mount my iPhone 6 Plus somewhere front and center. I've heard a lot of people talking about ProClips but I understand they don't work on the 2016 just yet because of a small year-to-year change.

Anyone have any solution out there that they know works for 2016? Would love to see a picture if you've got something you love.

Any advice here would be golden.

Thanks!

Is the Craven Speed mount something you've looked at? I'm not sure if it's front-n-center enough for what you're looking for.

I'm also not sure what changed on the '16's where the mounts wouldn't work. The only dashboard change is the removal of the cubby behind the passenger side dash trim. The center screen bezel is the same as far as I can tell.

For the purpose of consolidating information I'm including this post from another thread regarding the use of ProClips in the 2016 F56.

They are working on a new mount, but until then, hold off on ordering the 2015 mount if you have a 2016 model of the F56.

I'll contact Craven Speed to see if their XXL Mount is affected by this. That might be a solution, thanks!

Either the Craven Speed mount or the MINI Click & Drive. The Click & Drive can use any cradle that has Garmin ball.

So long as I am understanding the 2016 change properly, it will not affect our XXL mount which is secured to the tachometer.
