What do you guys use for a phone holder in the IS350? I looked at the Koomus cd slot holder, and Proclip holder (which clips onto the trim around the vents / clock). I don't want anything that sticks to the dashboard, or windshield. Thanks for any suggestions!

 

I never used one, I used to just put my phone in the cupholder near the armrest. I do know a few people who use the vent clip ones, but I noticed after a while they get loose, cant hold the weight and drop often. Pretty sure you wouldn't want a $1000+ phone to drop off your vent clip potentially causing it damage.

Why not just let it rest where the seat heating button is on the vehicle? Thats a nice area to let it rest, I used to do that often too.

 

I would like to be able to view my screen when navigating via Google Maps, and to be able to tap the destination field and speak the name of my destination.

 

My IS without navigation came with a place to put my phone so that's where I put it

 

I like having the mpow CD slot holder. I installed it upside down so it sits a little lower. It's still above the shifter enough but low enough to allow AC controls to be less obstructed. No shaking with my iphone xs max either.

 

Do you have a pic of that from your driver's seat point of view? Like, how obstructed would the HVAC controls be, if you were reaching for them with your hand, around the mount/phone?

 

You still have to reach over the phone to adjust the AC, but its not bad.

 

I replied in this thread with what the best solution was for me.

Got a mount from the windshield to the left of the steering wheel. In reach, not blocking any views or buttons but clearly visible. Also not sticking something in or on places they don't belong.

One of my favorite things about the location inchose is the phone rests along the bottom on the dash, and against the a pillar, preventing the phone from bouncing while driving .... Which is really annoying and happens with most other peoples solution.
