In my opinion, this is the ideal location for a phone in a car, because you can maintain very good peripheral vision on the road even when you're looking at the phone. My only gripe is that it'll heat up the phone if hot air is coming out behind it. Maybe a suction mount on the bottom left corner on the windshield would be ideal.
i haven't had issues with heat. I had my phone sitting there for my entire drive from Atlanta to NoVA, no issues (did 10 hrs straight 1 day). This was early December so heat was on. I do have a case for it, so maybe that helps or hurts, dont know.
I had chosen the same ProLine model as Siberian for my 992TTS. After trying the right-side mount version (where I had also mounted the earlier ProLine console mounts on my 991.1TTS and Targa4S), I decided that I preferred the left-side mount location version, because I found the minor interference with the left (volume) rotary **** less problematic than the minor interference with the right (selection/zoom) rotary **** on the console.
I am generally quite happy with the left-side ProLine mount, although not perfect, but have not yet seen what seems to be a clearly better solution.
Others presumably have different perspectives and experiences and I would welcome others’ posting their views and experience on better mounting solutions.

Not enough time driving (the roads have been an absolute disaster after the rain and 3 feet of snow on top) so haven't managed to take the NLRC out. I'll provide feedback when I'm able to put some hours in
This is what I use. I have a manual and it doesn't get in the way of shifting. The magnets are strong enough so you phone doesn't fall off when hitting bumps. Also the adhesive attaching this to the car does not leave any marks or residue.

The one I ordered is not available but here's one the seems better as it has 8 magnets vs 4 magnets in the one I have.

I have an iPhone12 Mini and used a Magsafe mount with a 3M VHB double sided sticky mount. I did confirm that the sticky is removable without leaving a mark. I plug it into the cigarette lighter with a USB cable.
