Hi All,
I have seen some interesting phone mounting solutions and wanted to share mine. I had this setup in my Jeep Grand Cherokee that I traded for my X5. I nearly forgot to have the dealer remove this and I'm so glad I remembered.
For me, it puts my phone in the optimal position for quick access and does not block any of the center console/dashboard/vents etc...I can also easily connect it to the lightning cable coming from the armrest storage.
Here is what you need:

The install is really easy and only requires removing the seat rail cover, loosening one torx bolt, sliding the mount under the rail and tightening the torx bolt. If you bend the gooseneck right it won't touch any part of the seat or center console. You won't be able to re-install the rail cover but I don't think most people will notice or care that it's not there. In the second picture the seat is all the way back. When moved back to normal driving position, the rail is completely hidden. Here is a couple of pictures installed.
