Cell phone mount

htc2000 · 08-16-2016, 12:55 PM

Anyone have good recommendations for a cell phone mount? I'm considering the magnetic ones found on Amazon.

I just use the Kenu.

Whats kenu? I use the magnetic ones and they work great as long as u dont need to change phone cases often or dont mind blocking the vents which is annoying me during the dog days of summer

I don't want to block the air vent either. Looking at this. Anyone have this?

I also have the Kenu one, but switched to the Belkin version. Latter seems more sturdy.

I use this one:

it is blocking the vent a little bit, but overall super easy to use

Post #2 in the thread below switched me to magnetic and I am very happy with it. This mount does not block any part of the a/c vent and I find the location of my iP very convenient.

However, I do use a mount like the Kenu for rental cars and BMW loaners.

I find the CD player to hang a bit low in the X5 but I've been using this for the last year and really like it

I find it to be sturdier than a lot of the vent clipped versions

Love the quick attachment and detachment with the magnet

No problems even with an aluminum coated phone (Nexus 6p)

I've been using the SCOSCHE magnetic mount for the last couple of weeks and found that it works well.

I've used the Koomus Magnetos Universal. Does block the vent a little, but works great otherwise.

This thing can holdup an iPad with a cover and not fall off.
I placed mine to the left of the Idrive screen so it makes it easy to access and see - I am starting to go blind. 3M tape easily comes off without damaging the dash.
