I am looking for some inspiration as to where and how to mount my phone. Have any of you got or tried anything like this? What did you do? Where did you put it? The perfect position for the phone is occupied by the car's own screen.

I stuck a dashboard mount disc on the drivers' side air vent and mounted my mobile holder on that. Works well and a USB lead reaches from the dash socket to the phone. It is in good line of sight but not distracting.

Brodit Mounts are usually pretty good but looking at their installation guide it looks like they too struggled for inspiration...

I have one of these and was used in the Abarth with rock hard suspension and held the phones perfectly. Not cheap but very good, but also relies on the air vent being used so not ideal.

Does your Cactus not have Bluetooth then? I leave my phone in my pocket all the time once it's connected to the car.

if you do need one however this is really good, I bought one for my work vehicle...

I've got Bluetooth, so for calls it can just stay in my pocket. But I don't have sat nav, so I want to be able to see the screen for that.

This is what I am finding so hard. I dont want to lose a vent, but I want to keep the phone in the centre. My other issue with Brodit is the phone holder part. It doesn't look like it will take the phone with a case.

Looks like I might have to try it on the other side of the steering wheel, or find a way to mount it portrait wise above the built in screen.

Have you thought about something like this? It won't cover the vents or need anything stuck to the dash or windscreen. Not sure it would be high enough but there's load of different types on Amazon so they may be worth a look.

This is something different, which i will try :

And this one have many options:

Funnily enough I like wedging my phone on the inside of the steering wheel on my vivaro, works well.

I prefer not to stuck things in the A.C. vents for two reasons:
Israel is a hot country and in summer time every cold breeze to your face is priceless
I use the Samsung Note 4, a large cell phone and A.C. vents these days are quite gentle.
So I use this cell phone holder http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281969770745&alt=web and you can stick it wherever you want + very low buying price.

I'm currently using an air vent clip on one on my Toyota Avensis and it works really well, however I'd like to do away with that on the Cactus. Im thinking there must be a way to clip to or fix a bracket onto the tablet. Anyone tried this or seen anything that might work?

Shame theres no CD player as I also have a CD clip in one somewhere lol.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

I use this, mounted on the aircon vent/grill to the right, works fine.

Was looking at these today in Maplins.... http://www.scosche.com/magic-mount-cell-phone-holder-tablet-mount

I was wondering if the "Original" model would stick on top of tablet screen? That way could mount phone horizontally and would not cover any of window... either that or in middle of the two vents...not too keen on vent mounted or screen mounted. The kit itself looks very good
