Let's talk phone mounts
 

Anyone hav any good out of the box phone mounts that can be put in the useless small holder on the FRS/BRZ? I saw one thread where someone 3d printed one but just wondering if anyone found anything that doesn't require access to a 3D printer.

As of right now I am borrowing a cd-mounted one but if possible I'd like to utilize that space.

bump. nothing =/?

Don't know what you mean, do you have a link? If you want to make it all nice and professional then I'd get one custom fit for our cars.

Proclip is perfect

Want the best phone mount? check out www.quadlockcase.com

i have a discount code too. i use it and its perfect.

he wants something that utilizes the cubby hole in front of the shifter.

I dont know how well this area will work because its a tight space and you also have to look down, but I haven't come across any mounts yet that go in this spot.

If you can handle it being somewhere else, proclip is a good solution but i'm personally waiting for @Beat-Sonic because they have a really nice phone clip holder coming out shortly. It will sit in between the two panels where the radio is.

Mountek might be a good choice- i havent tried it but since it fits in the cd slot and I dont even own any CDs i'm ordering one to try to use my NoteII as a GPS :)

Not a bad solution but for BRZ owners, that would interfere with the navi unit. Just food for thought.

oo good point, yeah FRS non-bespoke users only

I just dont like the cluttered look of something floating up top. The mount, for me at least, isn't really for easy looking as it is for somewhere to put my phone and look good. Thanks for the suggestions.

Anyone try this one?

It looks like the sticky piece would fit in the slot and the phone would come out into the open.

Regarding the Mountek one I actually bought that one but didn't like it. It seemed loose and tipped around (maybe defective?) and it covered the top of the screen which kind of annoyed me so I am trying to find something that can go in the "cubby"

Got this planning to use it in my old car, looks similar to the link you posted. Seems like a good phone holder but, at least mine, wont fit "inside" the square cutout w out some modification

I have the Iottie easyflex 2 and I love it. It won't fit in the square slot but I mounted mine down by the shifter. It works great.

I was thinking something like this. The only worry is stability in both the bend of the cable, and the male part that fits in to the phone.

Or we can visit the As Seen On TV store, [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpBNGbclsic"]GripGo[/ame].

Just need to tighten the ball joint by twisting the slot in the back with a coin or slotted screwdriver. Worked like a charm on mine.

These are excellent!

anyone get this yet? which phone?

this might work for my iphone4 - but it doesn't look like it comes with any type of cradle/plug. do you have to mount something separate to that flat plastic piece?

Yes. Iphone5. Perfect ^read above

You get the car mount piece and then a phone mount that attaches to it

This RamMount Gooseneck is what i use

That's what's nice about proclip, you get a mount designed specifically for your car, but if you change phones later you just have to buy the other mount not replace the entire thing.

Bought one, didn't care for it. It got in the way of using the radio in the FR-S, works OK in my Suburban though, well until I broke it trying to adjust it (my fault, not Mountek's)

How did you break it? Mine has worked great for me but may have to swap for the Proclip if I decide to change out my head unit.

Question for Proclip users. Can it be mounted and will it be sturdy without using the adhesive?

Mine is mounted w out using the adhesive. It is not going anywhere or i would have used the adhesive as im not opposed to using it, but mine doesnt even wobble slightly

I got the mountek thing that goes in the CD slot (I use my phone for nav and bluetooth streaming. Similar to the guy about halfway down this thread:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18046

So sick of the suction cups falling off eventually (sub zero temps in winter) and it doesn't block anything I use on the radio. Cycle tracks etc all work fine.

I love the mountek holder and would'nt even consider anything else if it wasn't for the possibilty that I might be changing out my stock hu. I love the way it enables you to attach/remove your phone effortlessly with one hand.

OGood stuff. Another question for you, the way the proclip mounts to the dash looks a little scary as I have zero experience with their products. Would it be possible to damage the dash at all if you removed and reattached the mount multiple times?

Im sure its "possible" lol. But no, as long as u intentionally remove it, knowing how u put it on, u cant damage anything.

Just wanted to update, I went with the iOttie flex 2 car mount. It fits everything from an iphone 4 to a galaxy s3 (not sure about the note 2). The suction is ridiculously strong on this; strong enough to hold a bowling ball up. At first I didn't like it since I wanted something that could fit in that cubby but after analyzing the situation, if my phone was there it would look really cluttered. I ended up mounting it as shown.

I just purchased a proclip today. I"ll let you guys know how it turns out.

I can attest to the ProClip not needing the adhesive as well. I even have an extra Ram Mount Arm attached to the ProClip.

I have the proclip mounted now and I can confirm what the others have said regarding not needing to use the adhesive.

Thanks for confirming the no adhesive needed, proclip on the way and I was waiting to mount it until after doing the reverse camera DIY to avoid having to undo the adhesive, but now I know it won't matter.

I was using the Exogear Exomount 2, but I've been hesitant to put it back on the windshield since the tint was applied. Anyone have insights to share with tinted windows and suction mounts? Thank you!

I'm happy with my RAM Mount

I was messimg around with my Mountek mount the other day and discovered that it's in the perfect spot to allow me to use my Galaxy note 2 as a dash cam when it's in the vertical position.

I have iOttie Easy View, works best ever.

Hello man. After reading about small holder on the FRS/BRZ with 3D print I search a lot but did not find anyone. I really did not find such thing which require direct access to 3D printer.

I did not see Gooseneck on the RamMount website. Where can i get one like yours?

You got your windshield tinted?:slap:
Anyway, if the tint is completely dried and adhered to the glass, you should have no problem putting a suction mount on it. The only problem would be if it was mounted close to the edge of the tint where it could start to lift up a bit by pulling the mount off, but if it's closer to the middle of the tint, there shouldn't be a problem.

I got the iottie and its great and cheap, plus its universal will fit any car.
