Me too! Just got it last month, with only 17k miles on it. I guess it was a lease that just... didn't get driven for whatever reason.

I put a lot of thought into this and finally went with a suction cup mount up at the top of the windshield, right next to the rear-view mirror. It's not legal everywhere, but it is here and I like it better for Navigation and so forth rather than having to look down at the center console. The one I got is a wireless charger too, so i don't have to plug the phone in to charge it. The wire just runs into the mount and I ran that through the headliner and door trim so it's basically invisible.

Someone else posted this unit the other day which I also thought looked pretty slick, although it DOES block some of the stereo controls and doesn't look QUITE as OEM as the side-mount you had purchased.
