Phone holder and placement?

[oguruma]

What do you guys use for a phone holder/mount? I currently use the Ram Mounts Quick-Grip with a suction mount that I mount to the windshield near the A-pillar.

It holds fine in the cooler months, but it sticks worse in when its hot.

Any model of holder you guys like?

What mounting location/method do you like?

Proclip dash mount with an iOtie wireless charging phone holder.

Also do a search, there are several threads on this subject.

I have a ProClip on the upper dash trim/air vent bezel, and this in the coin tray area...

I use the Course Motorsports one with the mag base. I love it, but there are some notable compromises.

What compromises? I use the basic one and it's amazing

I have the Course as well but with a cradle I got from Amazon

For my phone (iPhone 13) I need to use one of the supplied metal plates for it to sit right. If I stick the plate directly on the phone, my bedside wireless charger won’t work. So, I got a very thin case, stuck the plate to the case, and peel the case off when I put it on the wireless charger.
Also, I wanted minimal cabling and there aren’t many choices for short cable with a 90 degree at the console USB port.

I love the mount and consider these minor issues, but I’m a mildly autistic engineer and some stuff makes my eye twitch. I can help it.

Edit: There aren’t many choices of 90 degree USB jacks that go RIGHT from the console. If you want it to go left, there are eleventy billion choices and they’re all cheaper than the one that goes right.

I like the cradles because I'm going to plug in the phone for Android Auto anyways. I have the cord running from the center console with just enough length to plug it in with the phone in the cradle. The cord falls down beside the passenger seat and is easy to retrieve.

I've been debating getting this one -

But then I remember that I never use my phone while I'm driving. That being said, I might get one anyway.

In the cupholder, where it belongs. I can't imagine sticking a phone to my dashboard. How tacky and useless.

How is that "useless?" I much prefer being able to see GPS from my periphery than having to look down at the head unit or wherever.

Different stroke for different folks, of course.

Where did you find this??? Coin tray area I mean...

They are on multiple websites, this one came from Amazon. I do have one extra from my former Mustang coupe that I was going to post for sale.

These babies right here:

It’s hard to believe Ford didn’t do this OEM.
They work fine on my ’23. Perfect for phone and incredibly handy.
5 second install.

I get that, and agree that it's better to keep your eyes on the road. But there's voice commands.
