  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Cell Phone Mounting

This may sound like a ridiculously picky question, but I was wondering what solutions others have found for mounting their cell phones in the car. I know there are vent mounts, but that means either cold or hot air is constantly blowing on the back of your cell phone and I wonder the effect on that with longer trips. There are CD mounted holders, but they block the head unit screen. Then there are window and dashboard mounts via a suction cup, but that leaves a difficult-to-remove ring on the windows and dash when it is removed. Also, the outside temperature also affects the suction cups ability to stay in place. I got a cup holder type, but I find that not only does it take up the larger cup holder, but the positioning makes it difficult to utilize the other cup holder because of the way the phone extends. So I know this sounds a little obsessive, but has anyone come across a solution that addresses these issues -- other than the answer of "don't have a cell phone in the car" or "keep it in your pocket"? Thanks.

I got the CD player mount which works well until you need to park then you need to move it around a little bit but I just upgraded to the iPhone X and will get a vent mounted wireless charger..
 
Im also looking for a solution for 2015 Genesis 5.0L....something that allows iPhone to be plugged in for Apple CarPlay. Hopefully a one-handed solution.
Appreciate any feedback!

I placed a adhesive magnetic mount on the analog clock. It's perfect!
