Still to far back to be useful. Even if the phone is not be 'used' while driving, many of us use Waze, Spotify, Pandora etc, that's why I can't use my center console; I just have the phone mounted on the dash. Unless someone is very disciplined, each time the phone notifies of something, many will be tempted to look down at the phone; at that point, this is no longer a safety feature. This is the same reason why most auto manufacturers now have the audio controls and status screens set as close to the windshield as possible.
