jkeaton Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Little pocket beside your right leg is where I keep mine. Or in the console cup holder. Use your imagination. newrollo and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newrollo Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have a flip phone that goes in the lower center dash cubby. The wife uses the console side pocket. The side pocket, like JK said above, is on both sides. If you pair it to the radio, keep it in your pants, shirt pocket..don't text and drive. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I dump it into one of the cup holders. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Cup holder, or vent mount if I'm using it for Navigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSquirrel Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 If I'm using it for navigation, mine sits just perfectly in the screen between the speedo and the tacho. Of course I lose the fuel economy information but I rarely drive anywhere I'm not somewhat familiar with. But usually, it's either in my pocket or in a cup holder. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Did you have to glue a magnet to the back of your phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenze Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Did you have to glue a magnet to the back of your phone?If you look at the pic there is a slim magnet you place between your phone and its case. If you dont use a case it might fit under your battery cover. But probably not Slohnd and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'd be curious to see what the long term affects would be on the phone with a magnet in such close proximity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I've had my magnet mount for over a year. Does not effect anything. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totemus Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) After making a research (including this forum members survey), I found this working the best for me: http://www.amazon.com/Sinjimoru-including-Lightning-Charging-Package/dp/B00MLZZ7KA?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage Minimalistic and clean sight. One issue - they use proprietary charging cable, so you have to decide micro USB or lightning, but not all cords will fit into the bracket. The seller replaced my cord for free, though (I'm not affiliated with the seller). Also tried cupholder mounting solution, but switched to the above. http://www.amazon.com/Macally-Adjustable-Automobile-Smartphones-MCUP/dp/B002JTWRN8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 Edited June 8, 2016 by Totemus OzarkTroutBum and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuarterSwede Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I put mine in the center console since it's connected to my headunit and CarPlay. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzarkTroutBum Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I got a Koomus Magnetos CD slot holder from Amazon. It has a mount that slips into the CD slot and then a magnetic post/plate to hold the phone itself. The phone plate is thin enough to slip inside the case without notice at all. It says you can still use the CD player but you have to remove the holder to swap CD's. I have the iPhone 6s+ and there was no place to put the phone except rattling around the cup holder. This mount puts the phone right in front of the fan control but its still accessible and the cup holders are free too. Works great when using Goole Maps for a navigation aid. Theres an updated version of the holder for a few $ more that looks good too and might not block the fan control at all. Koomus Magnetos jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Not a fan of having to look down at the Nav screen. Â The vent mount I use puts it at eye level, so I don't have to take my eyes off of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered one but I live in the south and that cold air blasting the phone and then stepping out into our high humidity didn't seem like a good thing. We have a month and a half yearly where if you are in the car for 20 minutes or more your eye glasses are going to fog over as soon as you step out. Also, unless you are a gecko you are likely taking your eyes off the road to look, you just don't have to go as far to look.  dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 No problems with the phone on 90% humidity days here, but a good point that I never considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the science on it. Seems the phone would act similarly to the eyeglass because it was in the same environments too but I never noticed it doing it. Maybe the internals on the phone keep it warm enough. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Since a iPhone can't be opened, I guess I'll never know if the dot turned red! OzarkTroutBum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
