iPhone mount for 2013 Yaris?

I'm looking for a decent dash or window mount for an iPhone 5s for our 2013 Yaris LE. I'd like to keep it close to the radio area so I can plug in the charging cable and still use it for the navigation for our upcoming road trip. Anyone have any good setups that work for them?

I recently discovered the Airframe mount, which is the best working vent mount I have ever used:

That looks neat, I haven't liked many vent mounts in the past. How well does this work in the 2nd gen Yaris? Been considering the Mountek nGroove CD slot mount, but this could be better.

It works well in everything I have tried it in thus far - 2nd gen Yaris, 1st gen XB, and Mini Countryman.

I actually bought it specifically for the Mini, as there is no practical place to mount the phone to the dash itself, and the center rail phone mount that came with it (which puts the phone right behind the stick), makes it quite difficult to use my phone for navigation.

I am currently using an imagnet phone holder. It's a magnetic type holder that sticks to my dash. Magnet is pretty strong so phone stays in place and it's fairly easy to use... just pop and go

What about this one?

It's only the mount, but you can normally buy the specific holder for your phone, or a universal.

I use the bracktron magnetic mount. I stick it the the front little baby window in the corner and then just put the little piece of metal between your case and phone and BAM, it works great.

Hm...ok...well, sorry about that.

But the one I mean, is on the picture and it's for Toyota Yaris 2012-2014.

Brodit Proclip is it's name.

I have the Broddit clip and pro mount I use with my iPhone 5s in it's case. I have a Griffin USB power adapter and Amazon branded black lighting cable to charge, and use the TomTom iPhone app. Pleased with the setup.

I was thinking about putting in an apple branded docking cradle somewhere in the center console or something like that. I want to be able to just drop it in and go as I have a head unit with apple car play and siri integration. No need to look at the iphone screen while driving.. anything like that made for cars available?
