Default Recommendations for iPhone mount?

My navigation system doesn't work in my '02 UL so I'd like to mount my iPhone6 in the area of the nav screen where it's easy to see. Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable mounts?

Look at the Panavise mount and the Pro-clip holder for the phone.

this works pretty good, but it will use one of your center vents.

I wonder if I can use a suction cup mount directly to the nav screen...

don't think it will hold on.


I've always wanted to get the Breffo Spiderpodium.

Don't you need the nav screen to change your climate and radio?

I rarely listen to the radio, usually prefer silence. If I do turn it on I don't really need the screen, I just use a couple buttons on the head unit down below to change between a few presets. I never use the screen for the climate control, just the temp buttons on each side. Keep it on auto all the time.

That will damage the screen. Saw a thread about it in the 460 section a few years ago. Warranty would not cover it.

I like this because it's so simple. Works very well. You could mount it right above your nav screen.

We have some of these and they work well for us.
One in the LS, one in my GX and even got one to fit on my wife's bike.
Not bad for something cheap and versatile.

I ended up getting this one since I wanted something I could take with me and use in a rental car when I'm out of town. Cheap and works great.
