Hi,
I want to install a phone holder onto my RRS 07 dashboard / centre console. Its for my IPhone 5s. Any recommendations and pictures as I am not sure which to go for ??

many thanks

Get a brodit pro clip from DSL Developments (dsldevelopments.com or on amazon).

Have just got one for my 58 plate.



That's the bracket part, then you buy the phone holder part which attaches to it.

The bracket just clips in, no holes to drill etc, fits a treat, well worth the money IMO.. although I fitted mine slightly lower than the one in the image so it didn't obstruct the satnav screen.

I'll get some pics of mine once I get my motor back either today or tomorrow, albeit with an iPhone 6.



Cheers..

Ian

Cheers that looks good. I have looked at these and they are my preferred choice, but I wanted someone's opinion of their fitment etc

Have a look at a Steelie. A small metal ball mount which sticks onto the dash and doesn't look like an obvious phone mount and a small magnetic disc on the back of your phone or phone case. Very discreet. I have one in my 10 year old Forester as I use the phone on speaker, no Bluetooth in that car

Steelie looked like a great idea until I realised you'd need to have a metal barnacle permanently attached to your phone or case for it to work. Shame.

This is mine

I put mine on the dash mat in front of the sat nav.  Get a 2005-2009 RRS (FAH500210) sat nav/dash mat here - the one that wasn't there when you bought the car.

Spiffing wheel centre caps available

I see what you did there

Mine generally stays in my pocket but then I'm lucky my sport has the Bluetooth phone kit. When I'm playing tunes off my iPod via the aux input it would be nice to have it somewhere where the screen is easily accessible though

Easy to fit with their "tool" (basically creates a small gap when inserted between the trim panels, enough to clip in the bracket).. and the phone holder is screwed onto the bracket (all holes and screws included).

Here's mine in situ

All I can say is that I don't find the "barnacle" a problem in practice. I have 2 phones (one work one mine) I use the Steelie in the old Subaru, on the boat, on my iPad etc.
