Looking for suggestions on a good phone mount. I'm not a huge fan of clipping one to the vents, as I don't want to block the airflow. I also would like one that will not leave any permanent marks.

I would use a magnetic bar mount

plenty on Amazon

You dont like hands free bluetooth?

There are a ton of universal options online. Whether you'd rather use a windshield mount or even a rear view mirror one.

Was kinda wondering the same thing... with all the technology in the car my phone never comes out of my pocket unless it needs charging. Then I thought maybe the OP is a Uber or Lyft driver and needs to have it out for that.

 

[atari800]

I can see that. Good answer for now

No I like the bluetooth but i still like to scroll through my library of music. When i try and use voice commands to play particular music, it almost always plays something different than what I ask. Maybe I'm using it wrong, i don't know.

I got a ton of songs on a USB thumbdrive. If I use the voice command (the face with waves from mouth icon on steering wheel), I can say USB - PLAY ARTIST - BEASTIE BOYS or USB - PLAY ALBUM - JUDGEMENT NIGHT or USB - PLAY SONG - GIRL YOU WANT

Here is the list of USB commands:
The USB command is as follows.

USB
Play Genre < Genre name >
Play Artist < Artist name >
Play Album < Album name >
Play Playlist < Playlist name >
Play Song < Song name >
Play Music
List Genre < Genre name >
List Artist < Artist name >
List Album < Album name >
List Playlist < Playlist name >

It seems pretty accurate. If it doesnt understand, it starts listing things out.
*Maybe it could get confused if you have Lez Zepplin and Led Zepplin both on USB

Sometimes these systems need time to pick up on your voice and get used to your commands.
It might or might not be true here, but i'd say give it some time. Or just learn under what conditions it works best.

 

[atari800]

I'm not so sure about that. Usually, applications that learn in your accent ask you to read several types of sentences prior to it using voice recognition. But I could be wrong.

I have a pretty long commute and I like to use Waze so having the phone visible and plugged in is a must. I snaked the power cable over the top of the hatch to keep a more clean look and then installed a gooseneck mount (link below) with a low profile magnetic base glued on. It works great for me and the placement is fantastic in my opinion.

I went with the ProClip option and screwed a couple of cheap vent mount pads to it. I'm reasonably happy with it but I'm willing to entertain other ideas. ?

Mine are magnetic too. I'll be interested to see where you mount yours!

 

[TheOGBrianD]

I picked up this one that mounts in the cup holder. It's secure and puts the phone right at your finger tips. And, it's magnetic so if I need to grab the phone, it's easy. I just put the metal piece under the case and it works perfectly.

My phone fits perfectly next to the USB port. Android Auto takes care of the rest...Spotify for music, Waze for navigation, Google Assistant works great with both apps, etc...much better than stock navigation.

 

[ssleasman]

Where did you mount it ?

 

[Spanish Johnny]

I bought this and love it, works great, the base fits in the second cupholder: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NPS6S41/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wanted access to my iPhone for a few reasons:

- sometimes I play audio from an app that doesn't support CarPlay, so I need to use the app natively on the phone.

- I hate the way the system will only read me texts instead of letting me see them. Now, I totally get it from a safety perspective and I never read that stuff when driving. But if I get texts, once I stop at a light, then I want to be able to conveniently read those texts. Now I can.

And it looks great. Really happy with this solution.
