Can you guys post pictures of your phone holder setup?

Im having a really difficult time imagining where to put mine. The best place appears to be left of the steering column hanging from the window. I have a 2009 rx8 gt.

Thats exactly where i placed a holder for my old samsung running with my Ultragauge blue. I used this one because it has a long enough arm when extended. It does flop around more than id like though. I stuck it to the dash, not the windshield - i may rethink that.

For my regular phone, i used the Proclip unit made for the rx8.

I have one like this, it's on the windshield all the way on the left just above the dash. I should've bought a longer one that would allow the bottom to rest completely on the dash because the phone will fall off when I hit a bump.
This is on the dash, it's upside down on the windshield.

I really like that pro clip but I'm confused as to what additional phone holder id have to buy. That clip just looks so flush and perfect like it belongs.

Similar mount as shown by BC, but attaching to the vent...

Positioned here ...in an attempt to centralize normal driving, gauges, and cluster into a single field of view. Only need to glance away from normal FOV for EBC in the ashtray.
Additionally, it is well situated for charging while driving.

It does look like it belongs. Doesnt mount quite as easily as they would have you believe, (i had to take some of the radio surround apart so i could properly locate it) but looks good when you are done.

What are you unsure about?
You select the dash mount first according to your vehicle, then select the phone mount according to what phone you have. The two pieces you select attach together.

I just didn't realize they had a dash mount as well lol. Thanks, high quality looking products.

Found a spot in between both vents with just enough room to attach a magnetic phone holder.


The phone is held securely, never had it fall off while driving.

This is mine.


It holds pretty well for a suction cup, has fallen off once or twice, usually after sitting in the sun, but generally ok. I like that the phone is in field of view and that I can remove it for track events.

It's cheap but does the job.
