Which ProClip?

I'm geting a ProClip to attach my Treo to my new Mini. It's difficult to see from their photos which is the best location. I don't want the "angled mount" because it will cost me the cupholder.
It looks like the "Centermount" may interfere with the operation of the stereo. I'd appreciate any comments from ProClip Mini users.

Thanks

There is another Proclip angled mount for the MINI that is designed to be mounted below the cupholder (#853580). I initially had my wife's iPod mounted there but found it hard to see the display and cold drinks occasionally dripped on it from above. Due to the size of the Treo this might be the best location if you can live with the cupholder being above it.

We ended up using the 853245 center mount for her iPod.

It's not a Proclip mount, but I've been very pleased with the Kuda mount that clips to the dash. I use it for my PDA GPS.

For visibility, I also went with the Kuda mount for my phone/pda/gps.

I have the panavise mount for my plug and play satellite radio, which like the one ProClip, puts it right where the cupholder would be, and is angled like the ProClip. It really gets in the way for passengers, so I will be removing it. I'll probably end up doing a custom mount to place it in the dash area under one of the vents, just off center.

I have both the centermount and the low angle mount.

The low angle mount gets in the way if someone is sitting in the passenger seat. I also knocked the low angle mount off one time when I pushed the passenger seat forward.

I use the center mount and it works great. It doesn't get in the way of the radio controls, but the steering wheel can block the view of the phone.
