Default iPhone pro clip 928 dash mount?

Pro clip sells a mounting bracket for 928's. But the pictures don't really show the product.

Does anyone have experience with it?

I have a pro clip in my Mazda, very happy with it.

It's a company that makes vehicle specific smart phone brackets. You buy a specific bracket for your car and then another piece for your phone.

In this case the bracket holds the phone close to the dash above the radio and to the left of the hvac contrals.

Hi

I have a product called Clicon which looks to be exactly the same but rebadged. It works great in the RHD car. I have mine setup with the slide adapter so I can swap from my Company car to the 928. The only issue I have is it blocks the airflow to the driver which is a pain when it get up to the 100mark but it is okay for the passenger.

That is one reason I like the android, you can put it in your shirt pocket.

I have a suction mounted iPhone holder that I attached to the passenger side of the centre console. It puts the phone at just the right angle for me. I'll post a pic later today. It was from Future Shop. I like that it charges my phone too.

I have the below Bracketron mount. Sticks to the dash or pod. Only downside is you need to clean the tacky surfaces more than with other suction cup mounts I have had. It is pretty small and fits nicely in the door compartments.

I have had trouble mounting suction cups to the dash since the dash is a little concave.

I have a Ram Mount. Pricey and slightly bulky, but it works. This one has as a suction cup for the windshield, but they have many different types. I would say that Ram Mounts are more industrial quality since I see them in Police Cruisers and in Big Rigs. Mine can be adjusted to many different angles, phone sizes, etc. Works great!

The above Bracketron mount works on the dash so long as you mount it clean. It has a tacky surface. Pretty amazing actually. It has fallen off only when I did not clean both mounting surfaces. The bracket that holds the phone has the same tacky substance, which you also have to keep clean. For me it is not a big deal as I only mount my phone on longer trips or when I need it as a GPS.

FWIW, I have found window mounted ones fall off on the mean streets of LA without cleaning them first. YMMV.
