Which cell phone holder are you using?

"phone mount" would tend to give more specific results. Also helps if you limit the search to the 3rd gen forum and specify that it display as threads rather than posts.

can you provide more pics, description, or something? i like the mount but not totally crazy about the vent pinching effect... looks like you have a solution... curious to see more.

 

I had to trim the radio bezel.

 

Eventually I'll prob get the hondo one but I made my own for the time being.. pvc pipe cut in half and heated to fit, used a steelie dash mount.

 

both of those are great. i like everything about the Hondo except the loss of full vent control. i'm seeing a need for that control come summer here in north Texas.

 

Hondo garage is the way to go for sure. Get the phone wire clips and radio knobs while you are at it. You won't regret it.

 

the hondo mount is like $104 for the complete set! damn!

 

Personally, it's a lot cleaner to slightly notch the bottom edge of a panel and get the came inside. Add a hardwired

DC Converter,GEREE DC Buck Module 12V to 5V 3A USB Output Step Down Voltage Regulator Charge for Samsung Galaxy ，iPad iPhone 4S 5 6/6 Plus etc.

12V to 5V adapter and it makes for a very clean install.

 

Just got my iottie today and love it! Applied to my windshield. Thanks for not making me spend $100+ on a phone mount lol.

 

Hondo mount with magnetic round base. Have a ultra thin sticky back magnet on my phone under my case and it still works great and holds over rough terrain.

 

Have a lighter picture for more detail?

 

I do not did the install at night when i got off work. Ill snap you a picture tomorrow morning

Thanks!

 

$13 Scosche MAGDMB MagicMount Magnetic Car Phone Mount - Secure and Convenient Dashboard Phone Holder with 360° Adjustable Magnet Head - Universal and Compatible with IPhone, Samsung, and All Devices

I use the Scosche as well and love it. I mounted it right below the tuner knob (had to trim the base about 1/8"

Ill try and remember to take a few pictures tonight. In case anyone isnt aware, you bond a magnet to your phone, and from there the dash mount is magnetic. simply place it there and it sticks.

 

Uber awesome and uber expensive.

 

For clarity, the Scosche MagicMount comes with a thin ferrous metal plate that you can either bond to your phone or place under a thin phone case. I used that for a while on prior vehicles and it never damaged the finish. Worked well.

Other folks have mounted the Scosche base to the top of the trim near the vent; I didn't like having the phone up that high but it's a good spot. It mounts using VHB tape. For $15 it's a pretty good solution.

(it's the foundation of my Qi charging magnetic frankenmount)

 

My wife and I use the Steelie in our vehicles. It is small, doesn't mess with vents, you can tilt and swivel easily, and you can stick it anywhere.

This is what I'm thinking of getting as I need to have the vent fee for adjustable use in the summer.

 

As promised
