iPhone Holder

Any one recommend a decent iPhone holder for a F36?

Currently got an iPhone 6s but soon to move on to an iPhone 8

USB lead is plugged in under the armrest and the cable is annoying me

I'm doing a variation of this... http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=901534 ...hopefully a little more, er, delicately, for my new iPhone. If you fancy a nice DIY wireless solution and you don't want/need to see it.

I've just done something similar to my bedside cabinet.



Yes, I have too much time on my hands.

Also my tray arrived today so I can remove the snap in phone holder.

Has to be a Brodit imo, and use the spare USB port on the back of the HU if you don't have EBT from factory:

Mines been used every journey for over 2 years and is still spot on, haven’t had any squeaking. Have the Kenu in our Octavia, both have worked faultlessly with iPhone 6, 7 and X.

Which is more than can be said for the Brodit which wouldn’t even fit properly so got sent back.
