fassbender Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I currently have a suction cup on my speedo for my phone which I use for navigation and traffic (Waze). Its time to replace it. Has anyone found a solution they really like - find it sturdy and not noisy? I have an iPhone 5 at the moment. I already have CravenSpeed holder for my regular Garmin which I may still use for some of the out of the way places. Thanks!
SneakyBaron Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I don't know about their iPhone ones but ibolt is pretty good, have had it for my galaxy s4 for almost as long as the car. http://www.iboltshop.com
Ice Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 If you have a hard case on your phone you could try a InfiniApps Slyde CD Slot Mount for Smartphones, Cradle-less Universal... Sold by: Infiniapps Technology LLC. It goes into your cd slot. Since the mini cd slot is a weird shape it is not rock solid but it works for me. I can take some pictures of it later if you want to see it in a mini.
osofast10 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I got a custom one built from a 3D printing machine... i'll take pictures when i get home...
mbiedzinski Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I bought the small and sleek iMagnet Cradle-less Universal Phone Mount on Amazon and have been relatively happy with it. It has a metal plate that you either adhere to the back of the phone or place between the phone and the case. The plate then attaches to a magnet on the mount. The mount has a sticky base and levered suction cup to place it on the dash or the window; it's easily removed and replaced. And no, there are absolutely no issues whatsoever with the magent causing harm or interference to the phone. Due to the case I currently have, however, it does occasionally fall off of the mount on a bumpy road.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I LOVE my Craven Speed scissor mount, it's made for the MINI and attaches to the back of the tach. Made in the USA too http://www.cravenspeed.com/smart-phone-mounts/ Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
mbiedzinski Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I don't use mine much, which is why I didn't go with the Craven Speed scissor mount. I didn't want to have to look at a permanent, mostly unused fixture on the dash.

cmcveay Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I've been trying to remember the brand of the phone mount I had in both cars. I may even have one of them at the house - if so, it's yours! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
Whales Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I use mine every day for Waze so it works great for me I second that. I have the CravenSpeed unit and use it for music as well as navigation (CoPilot Live)... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] La Mosa 2006 JCW R53 You say you want a Revolution...
TATTRAT Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I have LOVE my mount that utilizes the CD slot as the mounting point. I stream most of my music, so loosing the CD player is a non-issue. It's rock solid and isn't in the way. flickr

I use the Pro Clip. That's the one you introduced me to and I'll never use another! Absolutely love the stability, positioning and it's flexibility for different phones. https://www.proclipusa.com/ https://www.instagram.com/smokiendabandit/ 2009 MCS, HzB/B, CWP, PP, "BLUR" MOTORING ID: SOAR143 - MINI Community Service 2013 JCW GP, Thunder Grey, "SMOKIE" MOTORING ID: FAST060 2014 MCS Clubman, Highclass Gray, "THE ADMIRAL"
mbiedzinski Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 I wondered why they keep putting CD players in cars. Now I know.
IndiCooper Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 I got a pro clip after I tested out Quittas and I LOVE it!

Ice Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 The only problem I have with the pro clip is I change cases a lot and they cost 30 to change to a different one. If you don't change cases this would be great.

Ice Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 Oh that is good do you happen to know the part number?
FAST060 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 Oh that is good do you happen to know the part number? Good question! Lona and I swapped mounts when I upgraded to an iPhone 5. Hmmm, good question indeed. The mount's hardware remained the same, the actual phone bracket was the part we swapped. https://www.instagram.com/smokiendabandit/ 2009 MCS, HzB/B, CWP, PP, "BLUR" MOTORING ID: SOAR143 - MINI Community Service 2013 JCW GP, Thunder Grey, "SMOKIE" MOTORING ID: FAST060 2014 MCS Clubman, Highclass Gray, "THE ADMIRAL"

If you don't change cases this would be great. Pro Clip has the adjustable phone bracket and, like FAST060 noted, I've used both rugged cases and low profile cases with the same mount. I also found that my work issued Blackberry fits in it without any additional adjustment. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
