Default iPhone mount for Cayenne?

Can anyone suggest a good iPhone (dash) mount for original Cayenne? no charging is needed.
I plan to utilize Siri and Navigation app.

TIA.
Sam

TomTom cradle is great, even with other nav app's. Has a built in GPS antenna booster and hands-free phone mic/speaker. I use a Pro-clip to attach it on the dash and had the harness hardwired ...

+1 for the Pro-Clip mounts:
Center Mount
Angled Mount

You just have to get a matching device holder to suit you.

I have been using the Mountek mount in my Cayman, and really like it. It slips into the CD player slot, or any available seam between the trim and dash. It is pretty inexpensive too.

JPP: How did you connect the Tom-Tom holder to the Pro clip mount?

KS-CS, fantastic find! I'm ordering the CD slot mount for my Cayman.

I purchased a 2011 Meteor Grey Cayenne today (pics to follow), I noticed on the drive up from Austin that the iPhone fits great inside the ashtray, top center of the center console. If there was an iPhone mount, like a charging stand made to fit in there, that would be perfect!

Thank you KS-CS and everyone else who responded to my question. I think I am going to get the Pro Clip Angle.

BTW, checkout the Telenav for iPhone (also available for other platforms), very impressive for a free navigation app.

Merry Christmas

Andrew, I think you'd be able to put in a charger in the base, run the USB cable under the console and be able to plug it in. The problem would be securing the base of the charger, once you tried to plug it in, with the iPhone charger, it sometimes takes just a bit of pressure.
I like the find you made on the charger, but it's a little more than I would want to spend, 'course it is an expensive vehicle what's a few more bucks for a nice, elegant solution.
Here's a pic of what I'm currently doing. I removed the little circular piece where you extinguish your cigarette (as if someone would smoke in a Cayenne), my phone fits in perfect, a little play on either side. My wife's iPhone has an otter box on it, it's a little too snug. There are two little grooves that can be filed down that held the little cigarette extinguisher, stubber out thing, it should fit perfect after that.
I plug my phone in, to be able to listen to music and podcasts, my wife doesn't, so just having a spot for her to place her phone works perfect.

... er .. sorry for the delay. The Tom-Tom cradle has a heavy duty suction cup system on the back (see picture above ...) that's hinged for viewing angle adjust. The cradle also charges the phone while it's attached to it. Pro-clip has a disk you attach to it as an option, so I just attached the disk and suction cup to it in my sedan, in the 993, I just suction cup to the clock face ... no pro-clip needed.

Excellent fit and finish, have used them in the past....legend has it that Larry had one in his P!g, but that never seems to come up with his widow during pillow talk.

I got the Spec dock for the iPhone 4s so that it mounts in the ashtray. Absolutely love it! When the ashtray is closed, you can't even see the dock.
