I’ve tried a few options:
Heater vent mount- wasn’t stable enough
Windscreen mount - looked too cumbersome.

I’ve cobbled together a mount from 2 manufacturers.

The phone holder is from ESR and it works with iPhone 12 “halo lock” which is a magnetic holder / charger
It’s part of this kit :


If you’re not bothered about wireless charging you could just use the second mount on its own. I’ve just unscrewed the top and used the ESR “top”.




To hold it securely I’m using the base of this which STICKS to the dash. Don’t know how easy it will be to remove but, on the basis I can change to an ordinary magnetic mount, it should suit any phone.




If you don’t need wireless charging then the second mount works ok on its own.
I am able to use the ESR halo lock to hold the phone in landscape mode.

Hope it helps somebody.

I tried 3d printing a mount that somebody on here helpfully provided free of charge but the mount kept breaking with the weight of an iPhone and the ESR mount on it.

That’s excellent Xondat but I found if I put a phone in that location it fouled the indicators - ok for those moving from Audi/BMW but no good for me.

This is how mine looks and the phone sits in landscape mode

Not as solid as I would like but ok
Hi Simon,
I found the vent mounts were too loose.
I also use Waze for navigation and needed the screen higher up.
