Cell Phone Mounts / Holsters / Placement?

So I'm just wondering where you guys mount your cell phones (perhaps I should call it a "mobile" on NAM)....I've come across two totally ones and I'm leaning towards the first one at the moment unless someone has a better idea?

http://www.proclipusa.com/?sectionpa...p_leftorright=

Any suggestions are obviously appreciated. I am usually a fan of the proclip but not for the R56. Thanks in advance btw.

I am using the Kuda mount on the dash for my Nav. I mounted my cell phone on my hip-clip since I have Bluetooth

I have both the Kuda and Pro-clip mount and found that on an R56 2007, the Kuda interferes the AC controls (at least on mine) and required a little tweaking to make it work smoothly (of which I had no time for when I did it). I instead installed the pro-clip mount using a http://www.extremepda.com/M.html mount for my iphone. Works like a charm, no problems, no noise, and still very easy to use when driving (have bluetooth in the car and steering wheel controls).

Here is the break down of what I using:

http://www.extremepda.com/MOUNTIPHONEGEN-DD.html

I mounted the phone mount to the proclip mount using 3M automotive molding tape so no holes and removable when I decide to spend a little time to get the Kuda mount working correctly. Also my MINI ipod cable that is in the secret compartment is long enough that I re-routed it and now is used to power/charge my iphone and works great to do the ipod/itouch music currently on my iphone Very Very Happy with the setup !!

Do you have the Nav system by chance? Kuda now offers 2 models, one for cars with nav and one without. If you had Nav and tried to use the other mount it took some modification to make it fit and never really fit right even modified.
