I am now using Waze as my mapping system having been caught by a dreaded 'Vision' camera van!, this entails using a connection cable, I usually just put the phone in one of the cup holders but now I wish to have the phone up front so I can see the Waze direction indicators etc.

I don't have a magnet on the back of my phone-nor do I want one I want a phone holder to go inbetween the 2 central air vents so I can fully see the MMI screen, there is a good one from Clearmounts.com but they are in Canada & don't appear to have a distributer in the UK-the cost is £43.70 + £9.72 delivery!!., it does gave a metal backing plate & not plastic.

Any ideas folks?.

I'm looking for the same thing. There are a few around on Ebay and the like and they seem to slot neatly in between the air vents (which is a great solution if it works). Anybody installed one of these things?

In my experience phones are too heavy to be secured to the air vent slots. There may also be a problem with GPS reception low on the facia.

Unless you are happy to drill holes on the top of the dashboard for screws, I reckon the best holders are attached to the windscreen with a suction cup, but even they can drop off when the car is parked in strong sunlight.

A lot of them are magnetic so you have to a magnet stuck on the back of the phone which I do not want. I need a cradle for the phone.

There aren’t any phone holders as far as I know for the circular air vents on the 2014-2020 Audi A3.

I really do not a windscreen suction cup type holder, I had that back in the 1990’s for my TomTom sat nav!.
