Default Where to mount Phone (iPhone 6plus)?

I have used Pro Clip for mounting my phones in previous autos but the layout in the 2015 IS give few convenient options. What are you using for mounts or is the integration from phone via Bluetooth/USB so good I could just put the phone in the console and forget it.

This is the type I've used in the past and seems to be the least intrusive.

I used to always use the Pro Clip but the over the vent clip in my opinion looks horrible, especially with an iphone 6+

I actually bought a Pro Clip when I got my car & had an iPhone 6, I mounted it & hated the look & removed it.

Now that I have a 6+ I sit it sideways in front of the gear shift leaning against the Mark Levinson panel. The screen on the 6+ rotates sideways & the phone sits quite well here. I then run the lightning cable out to charge it etc.

I just toss it in the center storage area with my wallet.

I haven't had any issues with the bluetooth and if I am curious about my msgs or email, I just hit a button on the steering wheel and Siri will read it to me. Other wise I don't touch my phone for anything while driving.

I need to learn more about the integration with Siri, I have not read completely thru my manuals yet.
This will be my goal, keeping the phone in the center console!

Honestly, I am still learning all the little features of it.

My recommendation really is to read the manual.. That is where I learned about the feature..

The dealer never told me squat about it.

I can tell you Siri must be enabled, you hold down the off-hook button on the steering wheel, and then wait for the microphone on your display.

You have to watch how you say things though.

If you say: Read me my EMAIL. Siri will list your emails by author only and the times they arrived.
If you say: Read me my NEW EMAIL. Siri will actually read out new emails. etc

So my advice, read the manual to get an idea of how to work it, then just play with it and try new things.
