After a long search I finally purchased a 23 plate.. 720.... absolutely love the car, admired from age 5 to 85 wherever I go especially commenting on the color (I will post a few pics) The only downside is where can I put my phone so I can use it legally! Is there a phone cradle 720 owners are using and where are you attaching it to if there is such a thing available? Any help much appreciated

I bought one of these : https://www.amazon.co.uk/VANMASS-%E3%80%90Military...

Attached to the windscreen up and to the right of the dashboard when raised. Still has room to clear when putting the dash into 'flat' mode or whatever it's called. Doesn't really obscure my vision

That looks stunning, great colour.

As said above, the Brodit mount works really well in the 720s. I used one for a year or so, but if you plan to keep the car a while I would recommend getting the Car Play module installed. It works brilliantly, integrating into the standard display. There are a lot of businesses offering the unit so installer will depend on where you are based but I paid a little over £1000 for it installed and consider it money well spent. The only thing I have found is that you need to run Waze or Google maps in dark mode or you can get some issues with screen responsiveness.

I'd echo this. The kit works really well, also plug and play, so a very easy diy fit if you don't live anywhere near an installer.

Thanks for the suggested options on type of cradle, I've ordered one of the suggested devices+ something off eBay that I'm hoping will attach to the fin above the Info system and just below the top of the dash.
Also appreciate the positive comments on car/colour so cheers Guys
