I got the belkin too but I'm still looking for other solutions.
The belkin is great - fits snugly in the cupholder and holds the phone firmly. I sort of want something that is more of a dock right now so I drop it in and it's connected. Anyone try something like this? http://www.shapeways.com/product/AMN...ionId=55900921 |

Is there a good sneaky way to route the USB cable from the center armrest to the cupholder area / mount area, so that we can have USB connectivity?
It would be easiest to plug in to the center console cigarette adapter, but that would be charge only. |

[QUOTE=rhk118;18224399]I just installed the Kuda phone mount in my M3 using a Scosche magnetic "magic mount." This setup is perfect for me as the Kuda mount matches the interior and holds the phone at a perfect viewing angle for the driver (so I was able to get a flush mount magnetic mount rather than a "ball and socket" adjustable one which they also make). The magnet holds the phone firmly and it hasn't fallen off, and really easy to mount the phone in any orientation. I also like that this setup doesn't mess with the 6MT in that when shifting into 5th my hand doesn't hit it like it does my coffee mug. Also it doesn't interfere with passenger seat legroom - its out of the way. I have a USB power cord installed into the 12V adapter under the glovebox.
Here's the setup: Great install rhk118! I believe I said earlier in this thread that the Scosche Magic Mount is the best way to go. But didn't know about the Kuda mount! Looks even better! I have the Scosche mount but with the ball and socket and my only complaint is it's not a perfectly solid mount....meaning the ball and socket feel a bit loose, but only if I grab it and wiggle it (so really it's only me who knows). But I'm going to switch to this Kuda Mount method! Either way, the Scosche Magic Mount is the way to go. So easy to mount and dismount with the magnetic connection. Don't know why anyone would go with anything else! And thanks for mentioning that you tried the magnets behind the Kuda, as I was about to post that as a question. Too bad that didn't work. Glad you tried it so I didn't have to |

I'm using this. Can't beat the price and it's perfect for what I want. Keeps the phone stable and at a good angle for Waze. I ran a six foot cable from the center console under the plastic piece that runs almost the drivers side foot well and then in between the two leather pieces of the center console to get full iPhone functionality with no wires showing.

Just run it out of the center console and down between the driver's seat and tuck it into the bottom of the plastic piece that runs along the side into the foot well. Then once you get to the end in the foot well area, run it up and tuck it in where the two leather pieces come together. It stays in nice and tight. |

Guys a magnetic vent clip mount just popped up on Slickdeals. $4 w/ free shipping. Looks pretty much like the others out there.
http://slickdeals.net/f/8126086-univ...-free-shipping worth a shot for a few bucks |

Old thread, I know.
This won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I found this at Brookstone. It blocks a vent and covers some speed dial buttons, but gets the phone up higher. Kenu Airframe Belkin makes one too.
