Recommended Vent Mount for Phone

Hi,

I don't really like the windscreen holders and am looking for a decent vent mount - any suggestions?

Hard to go past the Kenu Airframe. Small and very effective.

I've had good luck with Scosche MagicMounts. Doesn't block the vent and can mount anywhere. Not magic though.

This is a great mount. It has worked great in every different rental car I've driven.

But doesn't fit well in the 2 series. I tried it.

I have this product for my car: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Charge-...r+mount+iphone

It does a good job at keeping the iphone in view and recharge it.

I have this. It's a CD mount, but works great. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...L5NGOODUWQOHGL

I've always used car specific mounts from Brodit in my cars. So I'll guess I go with Brodit for the F46 also.

They seem to hade two different versions for the F45/F46:
LHD: Mount right of steering wheel
LHD: Mount left of steering wheel

There are two versions for right hand drive as well...

Bought the Kenu about a week ago and it's a great option. As ttimbo said, small and effective. Not sure where the fitment problems are. It slides into the vents with no problem and holds firmly. I'm using the Kenu+ on my Note5 without the case on the phone.

Just got one of these, I was skeptical but using now with my iPhone 6S Plus and its perfect. Holds really well!

Proclip / Brodit 100000%. Can easily pop the vent assembly and snake the USB cable to the armrest for charging. 10 mins max install.
