Mobile Phone mount for the 4

[Peter255]

Anyone sorted a phone mount yet for their new 4?

I want to mount the smartphone under the dash somewhere. Ideally a universal type mount with charging.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Peter

I added a suction mount that has build in charging as I use a modern iPhone. Worked great for the sat nav and music

I'm thinking of something like this, so that I can charge and mount the phone or use the USB for heated clothing if required. There are better ones but this gives the idea:

I used a mag mount from Scosche, the large mag base and metallic base are pretty good.

My quinoa and kale smoothie slightly bloated me at lunchtime and waitrose had no fully ripe organic avocados this afternoon. There is no end to my pain.

I like the bar clamp idea, it looks secure. But i think we will need to be able to angle the phone as well as twist it to get the screen facing the driver. Tonight i will investigate the chassis tubes under the dash top. I am not sure how much room we have around the tubes.

I am thinking this bolted to the plate under the dash:

Bolted here


Ordered. I will fit it next week and report back.

Perfect and rock solid too. Not bad for £8 from Amazon!


Fits any size phone



The bits you can't normally see. I may swap the old nut and bolt at some point (but its not visible).



This is the one if your interested > (looks like the price has gone up a little)

Looks good, and for peanuts too.... great stuff!

Swapped the bolts out for stainless and bolted a small black Perspex plate in place for the USB socket.



How it looks for the driver


Job's a good-un.

Did you just have the usb socket fitted, as I couldn’t see it in the previous pics?
It’s a nice set up you’ve got there.

I just fitted a waterproof USB charger from Amazon to a black perspex plate i cut, and swapped the bolts to stainless. Its finished now. Now i can have SatNav to Crewkerne next week!

Nice. It’s easy to wire the USB charger in I take it?
