(UPDATE!) Phone holder installed

Hey guys, what phone holders are u guys using? I want something similar to these where it's displayed within reach where either can use it for music or display gauges from the engine. Please post a link or even the name of the product so I can search for it thanks!

I use one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=sr_1_4&sr=8-4

Cheap and does the trick very nicely in the center vent location.

After trying many different holders, I use this one in all of my cars and it is phenomenal.

Which is why I went with the snap-in. I HATE things that look add-on and aftermarket. The adapter gives me full phone functionality; apparently except Siri..... I haven't had success coding that....

Snap on for me but if you after the IPhone 6 the snap on option is useless as it consist of a bracket holding the phone and having to plug the cable manually due to the size of the phone.
One option you should check is the new 7 series wireless charging case and snap-in adapter if they fit the 5, looks very cool and tidy.

Finally came in! Here u go!



Here's the base:


So here's the holder attached to the base:


here it is installed:


And with the phone...sorry but I borrowed my Son's phone and his phone looks like it's been dropped 100x!



I think it's perfect! perfect spot for me...easily reachable to play music or monitor engine diagnostics!
