what are some of the 200 owners methods for cell phone holder? (1 Viewer)

[COLandCrusher]

I am a bit frustrated as I just cannot seem to pick a good spot for the iphone 6 to stay in. I tried ashtray, but when I shift to Park it hammers the phone. And it will fall out on some turns occasionally. The drink holder areas is OK but not when I have drinks! The cooling box is no good as it's a PIA to retrieve it. Anyone have any good ideas. I may just do the whole magnetic route again, but am a bit undecided.

My 200 came with the Nite Ize Steelie on the center console, so I added the mount for my iPhone 7 and really like the combo. Very secure and adjustable and it's easy to sync up when I get in. Never had a mount for a cell phone in the past, but I'm really digging this one.

This kind of mount is cheap and effective and allows you to see the screen for things like live traffic nav and other functions:

Why would you want to block your vents?

It's only about 1/2 the airflow of one of the 4 front vents, and only when mounted. Can also use suction mount for the right side of the windshield.

I've been using a Proclip console mount with RAM 1" components tied to an iOauto magnetic mount for my iPhone 7+.

Looks like this from the driver's seat:

Does not intrude into the passenger's area, does not interfere with the cup holders, and leaves full access to the console controls. I like it a lot.

I use a Belkin air vent clip. The other vents do their job and heat the vehicle to where I need - haven't missed the functionality of the driver side-center dash vent.

I've been very happy with this setup. I wanted something fairly close to my driving line of sight without being up on the dash in the heat. I also didn't want anything over towards the passenger area. This location makes map reading and Torque reading very easy.

I guess they redesigned the center stack. I have this compartment specifically for phones, which looks to be where the ashtray was in older vehicles:

I set mine under the ebrake and it honestly never moves. Can't see the screen really but with Bluetooth who cares?

One of those magnetic holders that slips into the CD slot. Holds a 7+ in a lifeproof case in daily driving. Washboard will eventually shake it loose.

I use a CD slot mount from Amazon, and so does my wife in her GX. You'll need to put a magnet (included) between your phone and case. Very sturdy and functional.

This is my fav heavy duty phone holder. I can put in all sizes of phones including my mini ipad.

I don't need (want) to see my phone when I drive, so just put it in this holder I velcroed on the side of the console. It holds 2 iPhone 6+ and provides easy access to the USB port on the console.

I use a magnetic mount that clips to my vent. That way I can see Google Maps up near eye level while driving.

 

[Reckless]

The magnet mounts that clip into the vent were bad for me. I found a grippy sticky pad that I place over the subwoofer that has worked well for me. Only issue is I have to stretch a bit in order to grab the phone. It is available on Amazon for $5.

I use something almost identical to that. I used to have the one that fit on the vent, but it blocked too much air. This one is much better.
