Phone holders

Before I got wirelesss android auto, I just left mine in the drivers side cup holder with the USB cable fed from the top 12V socket - my phone is an old(ish) Samsung S9 and it fitted perfectly using a right angle cable. Nowadays, I leave it on the seat shelf powered from the dash.
 
Personally I’ve been sold on Quadlock stuff for a few years as use it on my bikes as well.
This glass mount sticks like f..k never comes off (unless I want to take it off)


Ok you need their phone case as well which makes it quite expensive if you want wireless charging base & mag-safe if you want that.

P.S. phone used to take pic so not on the mount ATM:D

I am due to get a new phone in the next few weeks. When i do i will be getting a Peak Design case and mounts as reviewed in this video. Better than Quadlock by the looks of it.

Interesting. :cool:
No wireless charging bases yet though or specific car mounts other than a universal one or using a motorbike one on a 3rd party base like a Brodit etc

I have Peak design camera straps & other clip mounts of theirs for cameras which are very good.

Their camera rucksacks & bags are also good.

IIRC they batch produce stuff & once it’s all sold they don’t seem to produce more or bring out something totally new.

Call me wary but I’d wait to see if it sells globally & they carry on developing the range.

Thankfully I won’t be changing my phone soon:D

This is a charging car mount:

As I use a Quadlock lock mount on my motorbike and already have a Quadlock case for my phone, it was a no brainier for me to get one for the van. The apple CarPlay connection was originally on the left in the little tray next to the cigarette lighter, so I’ve rerouted it to other side and tidied it up a bit, really chuffed with the outcome:

Another vote for Brodit, the two-part system might not be cheap but it is definitely the most secure and stable I have used.
OK, this isn't a phone, but a 7" Garmin screen, but the principle is the same.

How did you make that?
3D printer I think I uploaded the design to the 3D printing thread on here. My friend who prints these things for me is coming round to the idea of selling stuff so if you want one I could ask him
 
Ok so this is coming from someone who doesn't even have a build date for van yet (16months and counting) but has anyone got a solution for T6.1.

I will only have the standard head unit so must have lightning cable connected for car play or purchase one of these Bluetooth adaptors

I am looking for a solution to charge my iPhone and also have Carplay BUT I don't want to see cables anywhere haha , Is this possible ? Does anyone have some photos of something like this.

Mag charger tucked away somewhere but with a Bluetooth device to allow carplay.

Any help or ideas would be great to see

This was my thinking my next mod might be to run the cable from my design out the back and power it from behind the cig socket. I did try the MagSafe charger under the rubber mat but it didn’t have the power to charge through it

Thanks. What I ideally want is something that will turn my wired android auto into wireless...
