Phone Mount/Holder

Post by Lyons » Mon Nov 14, 2016 11:48 am

Does anyone have a phone holder installed to the right of the steering wheel? If so, what bracket or mount did you use? Brodit do one for the centre vent (653656), but as the vent to the right of the wheel is a slightly different shape I don't know if it will fit.

I know there are lots of other options for lower down near the climate controls etc, but I want it up high.

i've always had a brodit mount in my previous cars
i've not got round to getting one for the X5 yet and tbh the placement of the brodit mounts doesnt enthuse me to get one

I emailed Brodit yesterday and they confirmed the above pro clip won't fit on the vent to the right.

The other option was the Kenu Airframe. It's very neat and clips onto the vent, but doesn't have a fixed cable at the bottom like the Brodit ones do.

I got an Anker one from amazon.
If you search for "Anker Phone Holder Air Vent 360 Degree" in amazon, it will come up.
It costs £7.99

Yeh Anker and Aukey are good quality.
All my phone chargers, cables etc. are either Anker or Aukey.
