in 2019 what phone holder are you using

looking for a phone holder.. yes i did do a search. came up with the proclip (which the website says they no longer sell) looking for a phone holder to use on the side with no holes needed to be drilled that can hold an iphone. the vent clip doesnt really do it. and i want the phone up to see

I just put the phone in the cup holder. I do this on all my cars. But if you want something higher up, I like those magnetic vent mounts. The clip that goes into the air vent is pretty small and discrete. You have to stick a magnetic sticker on the back of your phone, or you can stick it inside the back of the phone case.

Thanks I did see the cup holder i don’t want to lose the cup space. I’m going to keep looking to see if I can get one or those panavise holders. Amazon sells the holster piece but not the clip. The joys of buying an older vehicle. Lol

The CD insert holder seems to work well for smaller phones.

If you can afford the leg room, I use the pro clip mount

I use the PanaVise. They sell a specific mount for the RL and the phone attachment separately. It mounts to the right side of the nav/radio, no drilling necessary (for the 2G RL).
Here is a link to their website: https://www.panavise.com/index.html with pictures and instructions here: https://www.panavise.com/pdf_indash/75116-505.pdf
My only complaint is that it gets bumped occasionally, by knees/legs, if someone in the passenger seat is moved forward.

I have a cd holder one now by iotte? The lever on the bottom of the holder gets in the way of the center button on the dash. Which cd holder do you have?

BTW, I used one of those cd holder mounts briefly in my old 99 TL and the problem is that it would permanently bend the little cloth opening of the CD slot. My OCD was bothered by this, so I stopped using it and was able to mostly bend back the cloth cover.

I made a configuration using three RAM mount components. I'll have to grab a pic later when it quits raining. It works extremely well if you don't mind mounting it to the dash left of the navigation screen.

ProClip still sells it. I actually just bought one in January 2020 for $27: Center Dash Mount - ProClip Center Mount Item# 853565
