Hello guys, I am looking around and trying to deside which mount is most suitable for our phone. I own a BMW E36 and I think that a ventilation grill mount would be the most suitable. Can anyone make any suggestion?

I've got one of these attached to a Brodit mount. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CAR...976.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.466b4c4dH1YcMr

It's inexpensive, holds the phone fine (as the width is adjustable), and can charge wirelessly through my Ringke case with no problems.

I've used a Brodit mount for years, probably would have picked that mount up if I had seen it earlier.

However, I do like not having to slide the phone in/out a holder and the magmount itself is much more compact.

Fair enough. It might not be for everybody, but I simply drop the phone into the holder - I don't press the release catch to remove it, or adjust the arms when placing the phone.

If anyone needs to save some dollars on the ProClip, let me know. I've used the same cradle since my original Note. Have only changed the dash mount as I changed cars. Audi to Acura and now Subaru. 20171213_161852.jpeg

I just got one of these https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Cha...sr=8-19&keywords=Wireless+charging+vent+mount a couple weeks ago, and it is doing great. With a QC3 compatible plug, it does Wilreless Fast charging. It's almost as handy as a mag mount since it uses gravity to pull down the bottom arm which pulls in the sides, not buttons to push to release it.

There appear to be several other companies selling the same mount, so it may be found for a couple dollars cheaper.
