I have a similar setup to BentZero, I took an old nexus 4 and used 3M command Strips and it's velcro'd to the lid in the up position. It seems to be ok, just was hoping someone had a better method.

I find myself using 'portrait' mode for the most part so maybe I will check out these cupholder mounts. It would be awesome to find something that lets you hide the USB cable. |

I'm with JohnnyCanuck; I recommend that Belkin phone mount very highly. It is rugged, elegant, practical and inconspicuous. And you can get a very short USB cable, which, with the BMW USB/12v adapter, makes the whole setup look almost OEM.

I like this one which uses a modified BMW Cupholder Insert (Part #51169257207) and a 6' apple lightening cable.
This works for my iphone 6s, but I had to cutout a bit of the side of the insert to allow it to work with the case. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=782894 |

I have a simple way with a Kenu Airframe | Car Mount for Smartphones. I got it at Amazon for $18.95. It is very secure. I use the BMW flush USB adaptor as well. I got a very short lightning black cable (iPhone) and I can touch it, if needed. Most of my use is through voice control. It's not for everyone but it is simple to put on your vent or remove it. Unobtrusive and use both cup holders if needed. The pic of the vent is not my 2 but it shoes how it sits.

This is what we use in both my BMW cars or rentals. It doesn't block controls in right hand drive it just works 100%. You need to keep your eyes up not down towards the cup holder.
