This is a very good point. I've always installed a phone mount in my cars, but my new BMW with wireless CarPlay eliminated that need for me. If Porsche's implementation is as good as BMW's, you may find you don't need the phone in view.

Safety remains an issue, as some articles are saying that carplay is as dangerous as looking at your phone. I can see that happening.

I slide mine in between the vent and the plastic a/c controls.

Ugh! You're driving. Put the cellphone away. Maybe in the center console space provided for a cellphone or swap out the cup holder with the supplied replacement container. My phone fits very nicely in there, out of the way and I don't forget to take it with me - which is what happens when I put it in to the center console for charging - yes I bought a slim USB inductive charger). Use CarPlay if you need phone functions while driving. Sorry if you have an Android phone. Drives me nuts seeing people using their handset while driving for voice calls, texting, emailing, etc. Again, you are driving a car! An expensive one, that you'll be really pissed if you crash or damage because you were fiddling with your phone.

I don’t understand this thread. If you have an iPhone, doesn’t CarPlay give you everything you need from your phone up on the display? If I needed charging while driving I think I’d just put the phone on a charging plate under the armrest. Otherwise, I’d just leave it in my pocket. It’s seems to me mounting the phone below line of sight to the road is a bit distracting.

Does anyone have any new thoughts on phone placement? I don't want to put the phone into the armrest--I prefer to have it accessible. Anyone using a MagBak case? I've got a manual on the way so the new ProClip console mount won't work for me. That looks like a decent option for PDK owners.

Perhaps, but worse case the phone should be higher up so you're eyes aren't completely off the road. I still argue that you're driving an expensive car, do that and stop fiddling with the phone, PCM, etc. Focus.

I just ordered ProClip for iPhone because:
1) Audio quality over bluetooth is terrible
2) Porsche PCM/Apple Carplay functionality for Amazon Music is not as good as directly from the phone
The Burmester sounds great with the Iphone plugged in, with Amazon Music HD or Ultra HD.

I just set the phone on my lap, forget it’s there when I get out then have to buy a new phone or screen after it hits the ground...
