Guess MINI have given up on the "Click and Drive" system

I make this observation because I'm thinking about a phone mount and I would like something specific to my phone. Galaxy S7.
The phone mounts are sold separately for the "Click and Drive" and the latest mount is for a Galaxy S4 and an iPhone 5.....
I honestly don't know why they bother to charge this much money for a piece of obsolete plastic and then drop the ball on the updates.

Have the Cravenspeed gauge pods.
However the MINI system had the advantage of being able to fold away when not in use....which IMHO makes it a very neat solution...but they stopped making the phone holder part!

Click and Drive can be folded away when not in use. I'm very hally with mine and it looks very well integrated into the interior of my car.

You can use any any Garmin G-Ball cradle with the Click & Drive. I'm using one by Arkon.

They replaced all the mounts with the universal model which should fit most phones. It just springs open and closed. Here's the part #: 65902406942

Otherwise, as was also mentioned in the thread, any mount that uses the ball mount should work

We just upgraded phones and had the iPhone 5 mount. We just got this one for my wife's iPhone 6s and it works great!
