I recently purchased a very inexpensive phone mount that works GREAT on the 997.2 and positions the phone in the perfect position to view while driving (for example, using Waze).


It's a vent mount, but it's very stable, doesn't seem to put undue stress on the vent, and brings the phone out enough to be able to turn and tilt it, and also allows the vent to remain useable.

It attaches to the phone with a magnetic place that can either be stuck on to the phone or case using the included adhesive, or simply slipped between the case and the phone.

For me, it totally obviates the need to buy an expensive Proclip.

Use the exact same mount in the 997 and Cayenne S. It works great.

had the same one but got the CD slot magnetic mount a few months later. this vent mount will stay vertical until you hit a few bumps, then the spring tension gripper starts to slip out. as it slips out the vent slats droop (since they are designed to move up and down). This makes your phone droop and flop around a bit.

i found myself having to reseat it every 15-30 min of driving. got too annoying and nabbed the CD slot magnetic holder. Works MUCH better. this thing is now reserved to my travel bag for rental cars.

nwGTS,

Which CD slot magnetic mount do you have?

Thanks

I've tried a bunch of options. For magnetic mounts, CD mount worked best for me. However, with the combination of iphone 6 plus's weight and the 997.2 ride i found the phone wouldn't stay put. So I switched to the .

Problem is the CD mount obscures too much, so I ended up with the ProClip and I've been happy with that.

I have a similar mount, has small rubber fins that project from the back. Similar to this one here:
Works great in the vent and it will also fit in the center console ashtray where the cigarette lighter goes. Just put the passenger side in first, then it slides in and is stable. Works for me when I don't need nav as my charging cord is only 1 foot and won't reach the dash.

I have also taken out the metal part in the center console ashtray and it fits my iPhone 8 plus perfectly.

I had been using the same type as you for the last few months, but found that the angle of the 997 vent (ie slightly downward) made the phone position a little awkward. This one brings it out an inch, and that makes a huge difference.

nwGTS, I completely understand your problem, and this is definitely an issue if you just clip it on to the vent. However, I haven't found it to sag with bumps yet - the way I have it attached to the top vane wedges the top "finger" of the mount against the top of the vent, and keeps it from tipping down.

I keep my old "four finger" type ones for MY travel bag now!

I have similar magnet but on the vent-mounted proclip that is angled towards the driver. Superb and no damage to the trim either. Have the magnet setup on alll four cars in the family.
