I stole this from my 944, it has detachable mounts for gps or phones. It is a bar of aluminum so you can bend it to any posistion you need.

It comes with hardware to attack to the seat mounting frame.




Thinking of getting a window mount so I can use it as a track recorder.

I have this....

Car or Truck Seat Rail Bolt or Floor Mount with 22" Gooseneck: Arkon.com

And I LOVE it!

It allows you to place the phone exactly where you want it, it's not in the way, and it will hold any size phone.

I can easily see my moving map display, calls, music, etc.

Easy to install, functions beautifully.

You're welcome.

Here is another alternative. Not for a phone but can be modified to work. I was looking for a way to mount my Bluetooth Transmitter. I could have used the power outlet/cigarette lighter but it was battery powered and it wasn't very secure. I wanted an ignition power so I wouldn't have to remove the transmitter with the car not running.



I purchased a power outlet and wired it to the phone connector which is ignition powered. I was debating whether to mount the power outlet in the side panel but that involved drilling. I was looking for a less intrusive method being once drilled, the only reversal is purchasing the side panel. I happened to find this lying around the house. It is a bookend bracket.



This bracket just happened to fit/slide in between the upper console and dash. It was sturdy and secure and removable.




I just bent the bracket to fit and zipped tied the power outlet to the bracket. Kinda hacked but works and looks good from the front.

Hopefully these are right-side up. I started with a door latch protector I bought from Home Depot. I cut one end down, bent it and painted it black. I set my phone on it when I want to use the navigation function. Other than that is sits in the center console when not in use.





It actually just blends in when the phone is one it (usually laying horizontally)
