Where do you put your phone?

mlsully · 08-06-2017, 09:49 PM

I have the pillar mount from Proclipusa.com

In the armrest since the USB is in there too.

Basically it doesn't fly around and I sure as hell never look at it.

anything magnetic does not work well with my wireless charger.
in front of the shifter. well that's where I put it at first but it flies at the first corner.

I bought one of these for my old Galaxy Note 4. My current phone is the same: Galaxy 8+. It fits in this as well.

I upgraded my phone charger to support USB-c when I got the 8+.

I don't yet own a tester for USB-c, but the USB A plug I tested and it drives 5.15V which is within specification and will not burn up your battery.

I also bought a USB-c to USB-c cable.

I had an old scrap of velcro I put around the windshield mount. I gathered up the slack in the cable with it and left the end with a few inches free to make it easy to plug in.

The adapter lives in the passenger footwell plug.

If I don't have a passenger I wedge it into the passenger seat between the top and back. It stays tight, doesn't fly around, and I can still have cords sticking into it. If someone is there it goes in the drivers door and let me tell ya, it's a b**** to get it out of there sometimes. I wear slim pants so the pocket is a no go when driving lol.

Nowhere cool, just the passenger seat.

OldGuyFla · 08-07-2017, 09:09 AM

In the armrest & turned off. I don't want to be bothered with it when I'm cruising.

Not sure about your passenger seat, but my passenger seat is ridiculously cool!

Shirt pocket, and there it stays.
Mine is in a fold-over case, so it wouldn't work with the windshield mount.

I picked up this Qi mount on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I wish it was a little more robust in quality but it's not bad. It holds and charges my s8+.
I've cut off the base and still shaping it a bit more to better fit between the console and bolster panel. Here is where I'm at so far if I can get pictures to show up.

Looks good. I really like the location. Nice job. Hope you don't mind me copying your setup.

Thanks, and copy away. Glad it was helpful.

I rigged one of those magnetic holders. It's rubber mounted and very adjustable. It's never in the way of shifting or the passenger.
