Phone mount
« on: 29 November 2018, 13:55 »
I can confidently say that despite having had many a company car and driving thousands of miles over the last 19 years or so, I have never purchased a phone mount. A mate of mine must had bought every one ever offered at petrol stations - you know the ones, rattling about on the air vents etc and generally looking sh!te and a pain to use.

In the Golf, an iPhone does fit neatly on top of the drinks holders retractable cover but then it often gets in the way. And then theres the temptation to look down at it. I considered that d-dock thing as I use Apple Play quite often but that seems pricey for what it actually is.

A friend was using one of these in his Range Rover last week and was so impressed I ordered straight away. Was £8 at the weekend due to Black Friday still only £10 :smiley:

And it just so happens that it goes fantastically with the GTI red colour scheme  :cool:

So far - Rock solid, doesn't make any noise over the bumps and easy to use. A very thin magnetic plate sits inside your case (or sticks to your phone if you don't have a case) so very simple but effective.

Got mine today and it's a great bit of kit.
Fits my GTI perfectly, but not so good in my wife's Evoque due to the air vents and dash sloping backwards at a stupid angle :rolleyes:
