Now being without any form of nav in my new E91 I'll be relying on my iPhone for directions and would ideally like to have it mounted in an appropriate location for eye sight.

There are endless options for mounts, some suction mounted onto windscreen (leaves that horrible mark), some dash mounted and some now mounting from the CD Slot!!

I really want this to look as tidy and discreet as possible whilst still being in a good location for using the phone for nav, so before I start ordering various mounts to try and find a good one I wondered if anyone has recommendations or examples of any they have installed and are using?

Thanks in advance! smile

I use a 'YOSH' magnet mount, only a few quid on Amazon. I've put it into the passenger side heater vent and then a small magnetic disc on your phone / case.

I have used a similar Spigen one with the metal disc inside my phone case. Spigen cases are good quality and have a recess for it.

Since I got a Mous case for my newer iPhone, I found the magnet mount didn't work. I wasn't paying silly money for a Mous car mount, so now use one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Holders-Gravity-Li...

Not as subtle but still looks OK, and very secure...

I'd use the magnet one above but I don't have a case to hide the plate.
I use the Kenu Airframe mount and it's absolutely ideal.
