Where did you mount this? In front of the nav?

The door handle works great for mid-size phones. There's also the door pocket, but it could slide around.

Personally I leave mine in my pocket unless I need to plug it in, in which case it goes in the console.

thanks bro! I'll try it!

I got the phone mirror kit installed and I have the wire next to the CD player that's why I wanted this type of mount as well.

Appreciate your help!

I have a magnetic mount arm thing that is firm but still adjustable. I have a right angle iphone lightning cable too because of how the phone is positioned.

Same setup i used too prior. I just wanted a cd slot mount as I rarely touch the buttons on the dash.

Installed it on the dash, right beside the center channel speaker. The magnet is extremely strong and not once did it dislogde...That is an iphone 7+ btw.

Incase anyone was wondering about a cd mount that worked. My boy helped me find one - it's made by Spigen and I got it on amazon.

I'm making use of some dead space between the seat heater buttons
Keeps the charging cord completely out of the way
Firmly holds any angle
Doesnt interfere with the shifter in any position.
It's held magnetically. A thin metal plate adheres to the back of your phones case. Ive got 2 so its centered in either orientation and high enough when upright for the charging cable. It holds really securely. So much so that you really should slide it off, rather than pull it strait off, because it would probably pull that switch panel off eventually if you kept doing it.
