What are you using for a Phone mount?

I have a 370z with Nav and want to get a phone mount for an S6. I've found that vent mounts don't seem secure and a window mount is too

Default What are you using for a Phone mount?

I have a 370z with Nav and want to get a phone mount for an S6. I've found that vent mounts don't seem secure and a window mount is too far forward and difficult to see in the sun. CD mount looks promising. What do you recommend? Pics appreciated. Thx...

I just got a CD mount . Seems to work really well. I flipped it upside down for a better fit.

Does it get in the way of the nav or audio controls?

I had a CD mountain was good and secure. Down side either give up your climate control or the audio. I'm currently looking a new mount. In front of the transmission stick or in the area where Ebrake is I have been putting everything in the center console.

It does somewhat block the audio controls but there is room to reach behind the mount and get to everything. If I didn't mount it upside down, it would probably work well for a car with navagation .

I've got a Kenu Airframe (vent mount) and have never had an issue. Although I've got Nav, I use Google Maps on my phone and put it on the vent just left of the nav screen. Holds it perfect.

CD cell phone mount

Been using this one for a while now... works great (I installed it upside down) still leaving everything within reach/accessible. I usually prefer the more "minimal" solutions, so this fit the bill.

I use the HU for calls but need to mount the phone for WAZE and Escort Live so I know when 5-0 is around. I drive a Z to go fast.
