It won't really work the same for the Z34 but at least you guys might be able to find something that works for you:

It's velcro on both sides and the rear clips for this A/C vent mount were removed so it sits flush

I forgot about this thread, now that I have the Iphone 6 Plus I can't use this custom mount

Just did it for the first time this morning, man did that suck! LOL

I don't see the problem here. I don't screw with my phone while I'm driving. If it drops between the seats, I'll just get it after I park.

I don't understand the attachment to phones these days. Like you can't breath if you don't have your phone in hand. It's getting seriously ridiculous

FWIW, I usually plug in my phone for music when I first get in the car. It sits right next to the parking brake. My charger from the center console pocket holds the phone in place.

i usually drop a zip tie between the seats while working on something...

kenchan · 04-03-2015, 12:01 PM

I agree but I dropped mine right as I started my car LOL so I just got out and worked my hand under the seat and was able to get it. I just recently upgraded to a Bluetooth unit for my Bose system so I'm sure this won't be the last time this happens.

klee370z · 04-03-2015, 02:20 PM

I have to actually pull over and get out of the car to retrieve it. So annoying!

BC416 · 04-03-2015, 03:00 PM

I'm using this neat little piece from Amazon.

Amazon.com: Kenu Airframe - Portable Smartphone Car Mount - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories

It will pretty much clamp anywhere. It's a little expensive for such a small piece but it's a really simple design and I like that.

lgarcia · 04-03-2015, 10:07 PM

I'll check out this Kenu holder, I've dropped my phone in between the seats and I had to have my 8 year old son retrieve it, my hand just does not fit in there

shika805 · 04-04-2015, 01:32 AM

i got this cushion that goes in between your seat that fixes that issue. i got it for a white elepahnt gift one christmas. its saved me numeral times. its one of those seen on tv items. You can probably get it at any cvs near you

Zoren 370 · 04-04-2015, 06:47 AM

Yeah I accidentally drop my viagra there and it actually ruined my track day with a chick as I was on limp mode. Damnt I should have gotten a pump instead ...oil cooler pump?

A quarter fell out of my pocket on the drive home into that area and it's like it entered into an alternative dimension.....
