Looking for a unicorn phone mount. Any suggestions?

[Josh00333]

This is what I use for an Iphone 13 Pro Max

I rotate it to the phone horizontally and it doesn't take up any window space nor block anything at all. I ran a cable behind the dash so there is nothing in my way. I run nav etc through apple play.

Works great.

Haven’t seen this one served up yet. It does clamp to the vent, but you don’t lose all the use from it so it may be the right compromise.

Stiffy mount is another good option.

This is a really poor shot of it, but I keep my phone mounted to the grab handle on the a pillar using Ram Mount. I settled on the spot because it’s easy to reach with my elbow on the door sill, is 100% out of the sight line of the windshield and the driver side window, and is also easy to glance at. For Apple CarPlay, I ran a very long wire from the phone down the trims to the floor, then ran it under the floor up through the center console to plug in to Apple CarPlay.

I have the bulletpoint drivers side mount with the phone "clamp". If I clamp it in the middle of the phone, yes, its above the dash and is in my line of sight. So I clamp it at the top of the phone just above the volume and screen buttons (iphone). Phone top is level with the dash and I can easily manupulate it. Only downside is it blocks the vent, but as youve experienced, beggers cant be choosers.

I do exactly this and it works great. I clamp the part of the phone above the buttons on my iPhone 14 Pro. It also worked fine on my old iPhoneX.

We use the Ram mount - My wife has the ball mount set up on grab handle on her Wrangler and we can switch the mount in seconds...

This is the one that I ended up with Holds the phone tight and still, no vibration, And I still have enough room to mount my remote head for my ham radio. half the price of Bullet Point mount. The holes are drilled & tap 1/4-20 so you can mount just about anything to it.

This is my solution, no complaints. I added 1/4" rubber grommets as gripper/shock absorbers on each of the 4 protrusions. Uses the 2 stock screws in the dash under the center rubber mat.

+1 for this. Love it.

I use a combo of bulletpoint mounts with the base of expedition essentials mounts. Super solid mounting setup but admittedly not cheap.

get a magbak and stick the mag bar where ever you want.

Was my 1st plan. They don't have a case for a Pixel 6 just the 6 Pro.

Installed the 67 designs driver side phone mount yesterday then proceeded to uninstall the 67 designs driver side phone mount. The mount is pretty awesome and holds my phone great. The windshield on these things is small enough already, toss a medium sized phone in front of it and I can't see *****. Are you guys/girls really driving around with a phone up in the middle of your windshield?

I've read through most of the various phone mount threads but I may have missed a few. There doesn't seem to be much space anywhere in/on the dash for a phone to go but I'm hoping someone else has gone down the exact same rabbit hole and can give some advice. These are the things I'm looking for in a phone mount:

• Prefer no drilling or adhesive to "visible" dash components
• No vent clips or blocking the vents
• Needs to be somewhere on the center stack so I can utilize android auto via usb cable (I use it constantly)
• Prefer it to be on driver side so it doesn't impose on passenger space
• Current phone doesn't work with magnetic mounts
• Phone has to be positioned to be accessible while driving, not block the windshield, buttons, screens or airbags.
• Dash bars that install across to the grab handles don't work because my CMM mirror mounts are there.

An articulated arm of some sort using the 67d components might work well to get the phone down out of the windshield but I haven't come across anything that isn't frankensteined out of multiple arms and balls.

The ball mount that replace the passenger side grab bar bolts looks like the closest thing to what I need but I don't like it being on the passenger side. Any similar mount positions on the driver side I'm not thinking off?

Anyone got any ideas? If it comes down to it I guess I'll have to figure out my own solution or just keep using the slot between the cupholders.

I chose this one (https://amzn.to/3WeUIRq) for the same reason you mentioned, not wanting to further diminish the already limited windshield view. Very sturdy, easy to install, and puts the phone in a great spot right next to the head unit.

That's the 2nd time that one has come up. Looks better than what I would normally mean by "vent clip" Might have to give it a try.

Right now I'm still using the cupholder but have the pocket recommended by @USMC_1Wire6337 for when there are drinks or passengers.

Yeah, I tried to stay away from the traditional vent clips for sure. Wasn't a huge fan of the idea of any vent blockage at all, but this one has proven to be very sturdy and while it does block the vent some, the tradeoff of having the phone where it is was worth it for me. Hope that helps.

Here is my setup that you may be able to modify to your needs.

Offroam air vent ball mount (17 mm)
Spigen MagSafe charger

I removed the arm on the charger and connected it directly to the ball mount. The only thing I've changed since the picture is moving it to the passenger side vent and powering it behind the dash.
