Hey!

I have a dilemma... where on the dash should I put my phone holder? Everything is round and I don't want to attach it to an air vent.

Where do you put your phone? Photo's welcome!

 

On my R56S I used to have the suction cup mount close to the left A-pillar. I routed the cable behind the steering column down to the center console for changing and audio connection. The phone was easy to reach with left hand and not blocking the view.One of the things that bothered me with window mount is the device can get overheated quite easily on the sunny day.
Now I have the aftermarket stereo with CarPlay custom fitted into the factory speedo. Much better setup if you ask me.

I can't find the better picture. Here is the one where you can see the mount location (partially blocked by the left hand):

 

Your profile picture shows a Countryman S? I have a Proclip in my Clubman with a magnet phone mount, and the location is perfect. Out of the way, but still visible when needed. Personally, I don't like the mounts that place the phone in the way of any controls, or in line of sight of the windshield. Its bad enough people can't drive down the road without their phone in hand, let alone block their view of the road with it....

Here is their similar Countryman mount:

Agreed with the above post - the window mount was a temporary solution. While it was out-of-the-way it still blocked some of the view.
I considered Proclip or double DIN stereo below speedo, but it's way too low in my opinion.
After experimenting with several phone mounting solutions I decided to invest into a CarPlay solution and never looked back.

 

Now I'm curious about the CarPlay solution... I'm going to do a search on that topic.
Thanks for the ideas and photo's!

 

Do you have your install documented anywhere? Did you start with HK sound system?

 

Yes, I do have HK sound system. Here is the thread where I described my install that was inspired by the original poster:https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post4483538

Disregard the ribbon cable that are visible in the installation photos I posted there - pictures were taken before everything was finalized.

 

I have the ProClip with the wireless charge mount. It mounts to the side of the radio.

 

Rennline has these new mounts: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-rennline...ellular_phone/





They are magnetic so you can mount and unmount pretty fast.

 

 

These look like good options - thanks!
