All GranTurmiso folks: like most of you I use my GTS as my daily driver and like most super cars they basically lack the same think...a Custom Phone Holder?! Something proper, functional, not in the way of the gear shift or cup holders, and not on the vent or windshield!
Where do you put your phone when driving your Maserati GranTurmiso?
I’ve been working on a prototype design that is functional, not clunky and does not look like an after thought. I’ve been testing the prototype driving around in all different driving conditions to test strength and stability. Very happy with the results.
A Perfect fit!
Looking for some feedback. Thanks!65882

Switched off and in the glove box!!

This.....No distraction.......Only time I would ever have a phone out of the glove box is if I'm using as sat nav. I refuse to take work calls as its just to distracting.....

My GTS is a weekend toy so the phone is normally in my pocket.
In my daily I use the sort of mount that would normally go on a windscreen but attach the sucker to the bottom of the cup holder, charging cable is then very close to power in the armrest. Looks surprisingly neat and tidy.

Phone lives in my pocket when driving, if it rings it can wait. Occasionally use it for music but then I just select the playlist and put it back in my pocket. Even in the daily I rarely use it, occasionally for Sat Nav but normally when there is a passenger in the car.

I'm always amazed at how many people must be 'on call' brain surgeons with their phone always at the ready for that urgent life saving call... but for some reason they seem to get lots of unsolicited calls from people talking s h i t e.

It must be so frustrating for them.

I keep mine in the pocket and if I need to take an urgent call I use BT.

When I had a touch of of the Farmers/Metrics, I had to use a suppository, and after a bit of initial resistance, and some spare KY from our vat, I managed to get them 'up'. There's a space up there, sort of space one could keep one's phone, not a Phablet to an iPhone X Max, but a 5 or a small Samsung Galaxy.

Disable vibrate mode tho, or, enable it if it floats your boat, takes all sorts....

I wondered who would be the first with this. I was going to 'go this route' right away, and then I thought, "No, its a new member with only 14 posts, let's not ..."

But ok, now Wanderer has got us started, this is what I nearly posted yesterday:

Nice idea but not much good for those of us who drive on the side of righteousness!
