Phone Holder

[maddog1982]

Hi,

Taken a new job that requires a bit of motorway driving. I'm unsure if the inbuilt nav (my2018) with a sim would give me all the motorway cameras etc etc as well as the variable speed limits. I tend to use Amigo by TomTom as its brilliant for mobile cameras etc. Is there a decent phone holder that you guys use, my cheap 12 quid one of amazon fell to pieces ! Oh and where do you mount these on the vents or the window?

Cheers in advance.

Have you considered using a clamshell holder on top of your centre vent?
I find it very well positioned to minimise any distraction.

Bespoke F-Type phone holder by Arid Innovations. Perfect position & keeps all makes/models/covers fixed solid...




Had mine three years. You could compromise with a cheaper solution but Arid is quality & stands test of time.

Highly recommended

Plus 1 vote for the Arid Innovation version - works and holds steady. Tried others that slide into cup holders etc but nothing works as well

Would ypu recommend the above or the magnetic one by Arid. Quite expensive but I know you get what you.pay for!!

Not used the magnetic one. The basic cradle is functional, sturdy & positions my phone perfectly. Buy once & onto the next modification

+1 for the arid solution, works a treat and rock solid with a Pixel 7 aboard

I was never one for phone holders but each to their own. My work vehicle has wired android auto and I find it so easy to use. In the Jag I opted for an android auto module from JH Audio Solutions with a wired and wireless connection as standard. Phone hidden out of the way as we all know, using a mobile device whilst driving is illegal.

I have the MY2016 sat nav (with the hard drive, not SD card) and I can load a speed cam database onto that.
Check you setting to see if you can find an option to load POIs
