What phone mounts do you use in your cars?
I'm after something magnetic (i have a quadlock case) that will fit on our around the centre console on a 570

There's a guy on Etsy who prints up in 3d for about 50 quid. If you look on ebay there's people trying to sell the same 3d printed kit for nearly £200.
I believe the guy who originally designed it left it open source so people could freely distribute it.
Printbrothers is the etsy company

I got one of the above printed and cobbled something together to fit a Quadlock mag mount to it. It's not pretty but when the phones on it I can't see it biggrin

I have tried many aftermarket mounts, conclusion is 12K Retrofits CarPlay is a tidy solution - befitting of a McLaren

Thank you, with the etsy one how did you fit the mount to the console?

It bolts on to the back of the console. You may need to get some slightly longer bolts to replace the existing mclaren bolts.

I managed to utilise the original bolts in the pictures above. Just about get enough to hold it all in place. I had planned to find some longer ones but never got round to it and it has been in place for a year now so seems fine thumbup

Thanks, so there are a couple of bolts behind the console?
Not yet collected the car so apologies if obvious
