Default Pro Clip solution for your phones on the 3IS

One of the things i didn't like about the 3IS was the lack of space to put change or your phone in. Good thing Pro Clip came out with a phone mount specific to the 3IS. I placed my order yesterday and i just wanted to share it with you guys. I've had 2 other Pro Clip systems in my other cars. installation was easy and quality's excellent

Don't forget to purchase the phone holder as well as the link below is only for the mount. You can use the coupon code FRIGHT for an additional discount that i think is valid only until today

Here's the link to the mount

By the way , you can mount it on either the left or right vent

Thanks for sharing. Was never a fan of the look of the clip-on holders, but definitely a practical option.

The silver lining to the non-NAV IS's - you get a "built-in" phone holder

agreed, i have used pro-clip in my corvette, unfortunately they don't have a mounting solution for the 3IS that doesn't block off an AC vent!
and that mount looks like an afterthought to me.
if it could be mounted to the left of the HVAC controls that might be acceptable for me.

I use the U-Grip, mounted to the far left side of the windshield right above the vent. It's perfect due to it's one handed insert / remove. And it was $9.99 a few days ago.

Do you have a pic of this mounted? Wondering if it blocks the view of the nav screen.

Debating on whether to get this or use the iOttie one touch I currently use in my G37.

I think the best solution would be a holder mounted with double sided tape to the downslope of the hump where you place your hand when toggling the joystick on the nav.
I just need to find a holder for my phone.

Anyone else have one of these installed? Would still like to see how much the phone blocks the view of the nav.
