Had anyone come across a decent phone mount? I like to use my nav on my phone and don’t want to change any features apart from ashtray. I’m not fan of glass suction or air vent clip-on. I’ve looked everywhere for decent mount on Etsy , bay etc. I’m currently using “bendy spider” holder onto the temp slider

I replaced the clock/obc with a blank panel and then fitted it with a Quadlock mount:

I got the blanking panel from here:

They also do an ashtray delete panel so you could do the same and attach the phone mount of your choice to it. Although it might a bit low down there, unless you put it on a long bendy arm.

That look good. I even though about mag safe mount, but I always have a builder’s case on my phone. Mag safe is shit on cases. I don’t want to lose the clock too. I would like a ashtray type mount as hardly anyone smoke these days…
