Hands Free phone holder location

[stephen pook]

Now maybe I'm being a bit thick but I'm finding it very difficult to find somewhere convenient to put my phone holder that will not look crap in my S3's interior.

I could put it next to the drivers side air vent but I think it obscures the lovely wallnut veneer switch panel.

Any ideas anyone.

ps.. phone is a Motorola V525 so quite small

Get a Stainless Zaust and you won't have to worry about a phone, as you wouldn't be able to hear it...

Seriously....

I wouldn't know..

Maybe in front of the seat on the side of the tunnel, toward the Ciggy lighter...???

I got myself a little magnetic holder (about £5 from Carphone Warehouse IIRC) which holds the phone perfectly, as long as you stick the little metal strip on the back of the phone, and not out of sight under the battery cover as suggested.

I've then stuck the magnet itself to the right of the dials (it's the little round black thing in the picture):



It's not particularly obvious, and doesn't spoil the lines of the dash IMHO.

why not get a bluetooth phone..... no need for mounting it at all and if you programme the headset for voice regonition you can make all the calls you need without touching the phone.... and as the earpiece is shoved right in your ear you may even be able to hear it!!

V525 is bluetooth capable! Im just about to get a headset for mine too!

First owner must have had a carphone in mine - there are two small screw holes in the side of the transmission tunnel by the passengers right knee/window switch in the S3 picture. I guess a cradle was put there.

I use the holder with a bluetooth phone as it's still useful to be able to see who's calling, and to be able to access the buttons for some functions. You can normally use voicedial with the wired earpieces as well if they have the button on the mike (assuming the phone supports it).

With the hood down, I can hear the person on the other end of the phone, but they can't hear me! Might be better with one of the ones that has the boom that reaches round towards your mouth. Mine is the type that just ends on your cheek, so the wind noise gets to it before my voice does, however much I shout!
