Keep forgetting cell phone in center console

I did order a wireless adapter on Amazon. Now for short rides I am all set. For longer trips when Waze drains my battery I will charge it in the glove box and forget it there 🤣

I always connect my phone while in the car. And Waze is always on, in town or on the highway. So it better be charging.
In my 750i, I had a magnetic phone holder attached to an air vent. When the heater was on, the phone would fall off the holder. That was a pain. It would fall to the driver's side floor. The I'd have to feel around to find it, not taking my eyes off the road.
Not the best solution!

So, I think Wireless CarPlay is the way to go for you.

And there is always a T-Design option, with 3 tried and true phone holders for spirited drives. Including magnetic and magnetic charging (works with iPhone 12, as with any other phone)

I love putting in the console and from time to time I do forget it in the console. For me, not a big deal, I just go out to the garage and get it. When going somewhere, I haven't forgotten it yet when I get out of the car. It's more natural to look for my phone I guess.
As time goes on, I would think it'll get easier to remember and become more natural.

Thanks, I don’t feel so alone anymore. Fully agree that the phone clutters the dash and once connected to CarPlay it is kind of useless anyhow.

Am I the only weirdo who drives with the phone in my pocket?

Carlin Kit adapter for $99 from Amazon works great. Out of the box my Pandora acted funny and phone connection dropped in/out. Pulled over and updated the firmware. After 5min of updating it works now like a charm. Very 😃 thanks for all your thought and tips. Great community.
