What do you mean by "screen mirroring"?

I have the bimmer-tech screen mirroring module

Been using this since the summer, and it's been by far the best mount I've ever used in a car. Can take it on/off with one hand, place it vertically or horizontally, and sits just below the Navi screen. Only thing, during the winter I close the vent for heat but leave it open during the summer. Make sure you mount in a bottom corner of a vent so that it braces against the trim itself and not on the vent itself. I find the smaller circle holds my iphone 6 just fine with case, and the larger rectangle holds iphone 6+ fine too, also with case. Holds it nice and firm but also just enough to easily remove.

No messing around, its clean and feels solid. You can easily route cables around also

Koomus Magnetos - CD slot based magnetic mount.

Beffo spider podium. Highly recommended!

Just wanted to post that I picked up a Kenu Airframe and it's GREAT!

Love how close to the vent the phone sits and how unobtrusive it is when there is no phone clipped on. Have to shut off the air to that vent in the winter, but not a big deal as the car warms up quickly enough as it is.

This is a setup I've been using for a few years now. Excuse the dust, it was a new install on my new car.

The wire is almost completely hidden under the trim and runs to the lighter adapter under the glove box. No messing with wire, just drop it in and go. It's the perfect hight and distance from my right hand for quick navigation and changing songs etc.

The leather base looks completely stock and blends in quite well. You can get it for $66 at KUDA

It only took me a few minutes to install with a Pry Tool Kit which is good to have for anyone who does any type of interior modifications.

Here's another photo from the manufacturer website:

The iphone mount is a proclip mount. It swivels and rotates to portrait and landscape. proclipusa.com
