Interested to see what use are using for mounting your phones in the car. I have saw a lot of these magnet type phone mounts being used which look to be by far the tidiest looking option but not sure if these are safe for the phone screens etc ?

I'm using iPhone 7 plus which actually fits in the ashtray quiet well when on its side but would prefer something that I could have the phone upright.

Mine just goes in the centre console hooked up to the USB so charges and used for my playlists.

Door pocket for me.
It's connected to the Bluetooth so I have no reason to have it anywhere else

These are awesome, we've got loads of them!

When I had my E90 I had one in each centre vent with an iPad Mini mounted to them, gave me a permanent in car iPad so Spotify could take up all the memory!

You just pop the magnetic plate part in between your phone & the case (If you use one)

I probably wouldn't choose these if you don't use a case as you'd have to then use the sticky pad to stick it to your phone which would look a bit naff.

They are great though, never falls off and they're perfectly safe for your phone. We both use iPhone 7's and never had an issue with them or the iPad which only ever comes off if we park in town or somewhere that there's a risk of it being nicked.

I've used this system in several cars including the current 320i and my SLK.
Very versatile, they offer mounts for virtually any car you can think of and they hold the phone very securely.
It may not be the cheapest option but if you want to safeguard your £600 plus iPhone it's a no contest.

First post on the forums, thank you for your attention, and patience.

+1 on the ProClip mount and holder. Have heard great things about these so this morning I bit the bullet and ordered a console mount and iphone 7 holder.

I had a Clingo Vent mount but found that it didnt fit well to the e90 vent so I made a clip on my 3D printer and a new mount for the Clingo. It grips onto the edges of the two vents on the centre console

Very pleased with it and you can barely see it with the mount removed.


BTW I didnt design the clip, it was on Thingiverse

The console mounts come with double sided adhesive tape but over the years I've never found it necessary. Once clipped into place they just stay there.
The phone holder is adjustable but with todays very slim phones it's best to use a minimal case on the phone for better grip and protection. That said, on occasion i've put the naked iPhone 6s in without any problems.

I use a dashmount bracket with a fix2car holder.

Brackets are at dashmount

Mount attaches to bolts which hold the radio and they accept brodit holders.

Mine just goes into the phone cradle under the armrest as part of the extended Bluetooth package in my E91

Thanks for that advice, I havent fitted it yet but intend to soon. I have the holder setup to my iphone 7 with an apple silicon case. It's nice, tight and solid in it.

I'll throw up some photos of it fitted once I have the interior in my car back together.

I use a Belkin Universal Car Mount for my phone (OnePlus 2). It's ideal for mounting to the windscreen as I use Waze a lot so it can be mounted at the right height and distance, for me.

I also use a Kenu Airframe mount for my iPod.

This would work for phones too..

A motor car is no place for an lcd screen of any kind. OEM or not.
Just my opinion.

[Digitalize]

So just all the ones fitted by manufacturers? ha.

I use an aesthetically shit but functional mount like this to place it in the bottom right of the windscreen, doesn't really block anything but is always in eye line for sat nav.

[soulgod123]

this one is the best one, perfectly fits iphone 5s, if you have iphone 6 you need to remove pads or cut it half with sharp knife as i did myself

[JulesM]

I bought an Kenu airframe after seeing it recommended on here. Under hard acceleration the phone and holder disappear into the rear seat. Pointless if you have a quick model.

Has anyone set up wireless charging yet in their E9XX ?

+1 on this, I have the sunglasses holder instead of an ashtray so was thinking of maybe trying something in there
