I toss a microfiber cloth in that center area and throw my phone in there, cloth so the phone doesn't jostle about and make noise in corners. I also sometimes put it in the drink holder on the door. When I bought my car my super old iphone fit perfectly in that cubby, but since then phones have gotten to big. I hate ALL phone mounts, they all suck and look bad.
So there is no where good for your phone to go, I suggest you make your next phone purchase to cater to what will fit in that cubby. |

Hi, One option could be to get the base in the picture. It’s very solid and does not move while driving and you can put it any place on the dash, even on the little bump between the SW and mid vents (gets the shape easily). I use it with a scosche magic mount. Anyone who has a wireless charging phone can also use the supporting magic mount. Check the image below with my old phone holder. The base of the magic mount is very similar to this. Hope it helps! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have an off-brand suction cup mount stuck on the small window on the door, which I use if I need to navigate with my phone. Otherwise it's in my pocket or, rarely, charging in the bottle holder. I have the USB routed to the driver's side door to let that setup work while charging.

True, but the fine isn't huge (it's $50 for first offense and $100 for the second) so I doubt anyone goes to court to fight it. At least the 5 or so people I know that have been ticketed for it didn't bother.

I agree. I toyed around with getting a strong magnet to attach to the back side of the dash trim, then a thin metal plate with maybe some felt over it for the back of my phone case so I could just 'stick' it to the dash.
In the end though, since I really can control all the functions I need from the headunit, I just leave it in my pocket or but it in the door cup holder.

This was my solution to mounting my phone. I wanted it off to the side near the head unit.
I got the bracket from a user on this forum who 3D prints it him self. I then wrapped it with something I had laying around, and finished off with a Magic mount. |

This is similar to my solution. Instead of the bracket, I just taped a couple neodymium magnets to the backside of the trim panel and used the magnet-backed scosche magic mount. It doesn't survive serious potholes (unless the object you're mounting is tethered to an OBD2 or something similar - I use it to mount my OFT when I'm logging, etc.). But it works well enough.

I bought a 4inch usb type c cable that fits perfectly and makes everything look clean with less cables around when connected and mounted there.

In a '13, I put the double cupholder thingy in its rear position and put my phone in the space in front 9f it. Right where the cigarette lighter is. Now where te f do 8 put my backpack? And do I get in first holding the bag outside, then put it on the pass seat? Or from outside, throw it onto the pass seat, then get in. I'm not going to start with getting out.

+2 for ProClip mount. Not cheap but solid, well-made, and secure.

SlipGrips mounts + RAM setup on the windshield is the best bet, or the Scosch Magic Mount, if you like Waze. Mostly you should just ignore it and drive.
