Phone mount for GS

[MrRMB]

Evening all. I don't use the car that often but when I do find a simple blue tooth thing in the cig lighter is all I need. In my daily, A4 estate, I have a vent magnet device that works really well. Any ideas that won't damage leather etc? Saw this carmount thing. Wondered what other people do? TIA.

I 'knocked one up' in a hurry, for the MCV, out of some 1.5 aluminium. Didn't even bother to paint it. It just slides under the console, and can be stored in the glovebox.

God forbid .....for a minute at first glance that looked like it was riveted to the console through the leather once polished up looks and does the job ...... fortunately mine was all wired up with inbuilt mike etc when i bought it

Not a great product but works & is horribly cheap (2.95 delivered!)

The trick is to not destroy the, shall we say fragile, vents when youre trying to fit it

Ive accidentally broken vents on a two year old car before now with one of those , certainly wouldnt want to risk it on 15 year old brittle plastic ...........id rather wear a slug in my ear

Hi happydaze
Unfortunately the pictures are not showing on my device's, just getting a no entry sign. No doubt my computer is not configured correctly, or I am not! anyway would be interested to see the phone mount you made, so any chance of posting in a different format. Thanks in advance.

Not just you. I saw them initially but now the same grey sign. On all my machines.

@conaero another one for the bug tracker I suspect (oh and the 'last read' brings me back to the same point in this thread (i.e. post #2) not the last read.

My blob of BluTac between the buttons works brilliantly. It may hide the Sport button, but that's permanently on anyway.

Has anyone tried one of these? https://www.weathertech.com/weathertech-cupfone/cupfone/

I'm curious if it would work on mine since the inerts of the cup holder are gone.
