Phone mount for gauge display

Mywifes335 · 04-05-2016, 11:21 PM

Hey guys,

Getting the JB4 BT connect rev 3 and will run a defunct LG Android smartphone as the display.

Any suggestions on what phone mount to use?

Thanks!

Mike

The ProClip vent mount (pictured w/ Nexus 6p) works nicely. Easily clips on and off from the vent.

I use this one...works well enough and relatively inexpensive

Thanks guys. And they're adjustable for smaller (iPhone 5) and larger Samsung Galaxy 6 phones right?

The ProClip option adjusts just enough to compensate for a case on the phone but the overall width of the clip part is tailored for a single specific phone. Might not be the best option of you need to mount multiple, different sized phones in the car.

The Kenu Airframe is; spring-loaded clasp hold the phone steady. Quality piece.

There are two sizes, though: the Airframe and the Airframe+. The larger one (+) is the one you want.

For a window mount version I've had good luck with this one:

I have a 6 Edge and I have the "regular" airframe version. Fits like a charm. Never had an issue.

Thanks so much you guys! Just ordered the Kenu airframe!

Damn that's a nice picture

I got the Kenu mount. It seems to hold the phone OK, but the orientation position is limited.

That's odd. Mine turns nicely for "landscape" position. I wonder if they changed the design.

You're right, it does turn. There's a locking cam inside. It's easier to turn when not mounted on the vent.
