Default Where do you guys mount your Cell Phones?

Hi All,

I'm using a windshield mounted suction cup phone mount now, but I've had issues with it loosing it's grip. I was wondering if there is a better mounting option available, but I'm not seeing any good places to mount my phone where it's easily visible, but not blocking anything. I have a larger phone (iPhone 13 Pro Max) and I prefer to use the navigation on the phone rather than the Lexus Nav system. How are you guys mounting your Phones on your GS 350's?

Thanks

Not a GS but I love this mount (iPhone 14 here) and it works in most cars.

I used the vent mount and it's very sturdy.

I seem to recall a decent sized thread with a bunch of ppl chiming in.

Either way I use a CD mount, with 6 magnets.

I had initially used the Scosche one but the phone kept falling off from weak attraction.

Both block direct access of the AC controls and hazards but you can still access them, just have to be mindful. But I don't really change AC too much.

I like the iPhone SE because of its smaller size and how convenient it is to carry, and it's width fits perfectly in either cupholder of the console and is always visible as I drive.

Center Armrest - A Wireless charger sits in the little sliding tray
The phone is always charging and broadcasting as a hotspot
Touchscreen tablet sits behind the shifter infront of the cupholders
It's always playing Youtube Revanced & Google Maps in a 70 / 30 split screen. Audio via bluetooth.

I don't like having stuff attached to, or sticking out of, anything on the dash...or the windshield. I also don't like having cables visible.

That sounds like an awesome setup! Could you please share a pic?

There are a lot of good ideas here. Now I need to decide which is best for me. I think I'm leaning to the shapeways.

Thanks!

It's just a regular tablet stand.
Pick one small enough so that you can still use your cupholders.
