Anyone using ProClip Angled Mount for iPhone?
Note - reposting this to the Entertainment/Electronics forum, originally placed in the general forum. Sorry, posted in haste.
Hi - new owner here (2010 2Dr HB Manual/Meteorite), and trying to figure out my options for using my iPhone 3GS with the stock head unit. I'm looking for an iPhone mount that will work well for music and navigation (TomTom app, need a mount that rotates). The Proclip seems the cleanest choice (I'm not crazy about window or dash suction cups), and friends swear by other Proclip vent mounts. But I'm not sure I like the location that the angled mount puts the device in...seems kinda low and off to the side. And the price, yikes! Angled mount plus an adjustable holder with charger mount....almost $120 including shipping? Anyone using this? Anyone else using something different that they really like? I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks! Last edited by AliCLick; 01-17-2010 at 10:18 AM. Reason: added image |

To be honest with you, i just carry
my iphone on my lap and if i need to put it down, i set it down on the side pocket of the car. I looked at the mount that you mentioned up there and it looks to be good for what you want it for... give it a try and give us a review on it... -Sam

Think I'm going to wait on this awhile until I actually see something in use that looks perfect; probably will just get a cheapie window or dash mount thing for the infrequent times I use GPS, and keep the phone on the car seat when I'm just using it for music/podcasts. In the meantime, think I'll bite the bullet and spend on a connection kit that goes to the head unit....too much money (seems to be a theme here), but don't want to deal with the clutter of having separate power/audio cables. |

The Pro-Clip is pricey but if it works well for your application it may be worth it. However, I do recall seeing a cheapy DIY pro-clip somewhere (do a google search) using a metal plate and a couple screws. This was like two years ago but if I recall correctly it didn't look half bad.

Altitude and Goku - the ProClip solution is not an Apple product, it works with pretty much every phone/gps on the market. But thanks for sharing your thoughts. I know the Apple haters amuse themselves by posting off topic stuff everywhere....first time I've seen it here though. :)
