Best phone mount for Model X?

[Leo Snow]

Check Spiegel (or Abstract Ocean's which is clone) - other stuff is just too clumsy

Just not a fan of adhering something to the dash...

Okay cheers, thought it might be along those lines. Speed trap warning sounds useful, but the rest I can easily live without so I guess I won't be needing a phone bracket, lol! Makes you think a Waze App for Tesla would be a nice touch as it seems ridiculous having a 17" touchscreen with a cell phone bodged onto the dash!

I use it most in places I'm familiar since it is really quick to provide detours in the event of collisions or other numbskull things the local drivers here do.

Then Tesla phone holder is the only option for now.

There's this one if you don't want to glue anything to the dash:

Topfit Qi charger. You can store/set it at various angles.

I like my proclip dash mount. I don’t have a picture but they have pictures on the proclip site. The only downside is that it partially blocks the ac vent, but I am fine with it. It is super sturdy, can be removed cleanly, and is at a good height/angle

I like the pro clip mount, but wish the phone mount was adjustable for different size phones as my I have an iPhone X and my wife has an 8 Plus.

They make or did last time I shopped an adjustable phone end to the vehicle mount

That's what has been bugging me from day 1

If they'd take HDMI in or do the car play Android auto... They don't have to have it takeover the screen, just window it, those are probably tiny even on the Model 3 screen. They're already touch enabled

For a variety of reasons, I need my phone to see out the windshield. And I like my iPhone just over my head on the right.

I have bought several windshield suction cup mounts from Iottie, and they are always outstanding. Here's one.

Yes, adjustable but you need a screwdriver to loosen the faceplate screws to adjust the width of the phone holder. Not convenient for different users with different size phones. I couldn't find a phone holder that can be easily adjusted without a screwdriver.

Sorry for the thread ressurection, but I'm looking at something similar.

I want my phone and my wife's phone to both fit. I like the Brodit solutions as they seem to have several solutions for all my current cars.
The only problem is that even their universal/adjustable mount requires a screwdriver, so no on-the-go adjustments.

Anyone any thoughts?

I've currently got a windshield suction mount that springs onto the phone when you press the phone against the back out the mount's phone holder, to release you squeeze two grips, holds my Note 9 and looks like it'd hold a smaller iPhone.

I’ve had a couple of these, love the brand. https://amzn.to/2KcnBgz

The capturing arms are spring mounted so they fit a wide variety of phone brands and sizes. No tools needed,

Press your phone against the back of the holder and the springs release - tightening onto your phone. Three capturing arms - one on each side and one on the bottom. The bottom holder is a fixed position. In my previous two models, you press a small button on the side and the side capture arms retract away from the phone.

Been using the brand for years and none of my phones have ever fallen out of he holder.

All my phones have been “wired”, so I have to use the old style holders. If you have a newer model you will want to check out their wireless charging versions. Looks like everyone is going to this technology so phone size will be less of an issue as the manufacturers begin using magnetic capture units.

Hope that helps.

Yes this is the exact one I was describing

This is what I use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GKY5LSP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I can attach it to the vents, windshield or the dash directly because it’s so smooth. Also contains a wireless charger that works with iPhones.
Bonus, the arms are automatic which just kinda adds to the futuristic vibe.

Yes with P100D u get two sets of guides and two cables ..those I replaced with skyline as Tesla ones don’t work with case...it comes in small box you should have gotten at delivery non p100 guys have to pay 35 for it

My P100D did not come with a phone dock. I had to order it for $35.

Yah they probably dropped that like they did the 14-50 pigtail , they make you pay now

 

[Daisame]

Yup, have to pick up a 14-50. I don't need it now, but when I drive it from NJ to FL for the holidays will want that arrow in my quiver.

Same here but I didn't buy it, got the window suction cup instead
