Holder for phone Navigation Device?
 

Despite the bad rap that Apple Maps has gotten, I really like the spoken and visual turn-by-turn info that the iPhone gives. When you couple that with Siri, you just have to say something like: "Navigate to the Mustang Ranch and avoid Highway 80". No typing/texting skills needed.
I was trying to figure a place to hold the phone and decided that some sort of holder that extended from the ashtray would be common to most 911s.
Does anyone know of anything like that? (I have searched cup holders.)

Check proclip. Have one in my S4. What's nice about them is that they incorporate the power card very well, so the phone just slides right into place. I use it with a parrot system.

Try Pro Fit International.

I just bought a sea sucker. Love it. Very secure. I can move it from car to car and mount it anywhere.

I've been using ProClip since the 3G in multiple vehicles. Great product.

You can now rejoice...Google Maps Mobile with turn by turn spoken direction is available now for your iPhone!

I've seen someone post a picture where the open ashtray held their phone...maybe they mocked it up, but it looked very clean.

Plug this into your lighter socket, listen to your music, listen to the navigation, recieve calls etc.
As long as you have any iphone other than the 5... Haven't seen one for it yet but an adapter may work.

FWIW, I travel a lot on business and I use the Navigon app on my iPhone. For a one-time fee (each) you can get real-time traffic and speed/intersection camera alerts. Maps are very accurate and even tells you which lane you need to be in.

Some judicious cutting and bending on the 'Pelican' lighter type cupholder looks interesting. Any reviews?

RWebb might be on to something. I want to change to my answer!

don't have a pic but that is what i do. my iphone 4s with an otterbox case fits perfectly inside the ashtray opening.

this one is discontinued but if you can find it they are great. i have one that i will be mounting in the 911.

I also find the ashtray works perfect for my iPhone with an Otterbox case. The MP3 cord from the stereo is run there and it works great.

Ram mounts. Very secure and as understated or in-your-face as you want to get. They have a mount for everything.

iOttie is another popular choice. I just ordered one for my truck. I'll let you know how it works.

Awhile back I picked up from this board a metal ring with a ram mount attached to it. The ring goes around your clock between the lip and the rubber seal, then you attach a phone holder of your choice to the ram mount. Don't remember who was selling them, don't have a picture handy either but it's brilliant...

I had the Kuda in my old 993.

which looks awesome, so I ordered two.

Had Navigon for a long time. Garmin, especially after a few revisions, is not my gold standard. I use Google when I'm in the city, but Garmin for longer trips.

If you have a CD player in the dash this works really well.

I plan on making a piece to hold the phone that mounts in the ash tray location. Once I get my prototype done ill post pics to see if people like it. If so I do plan to bring this to market if it comes out as planned.

I guess the end result is similar to above.

Right now I have I like that using an otter box case, as recommended by 9ball. It works but I want something a bit more sturdy.

You'd be surprised at how sturdy it is, and that's with just a little tiny case. Must be a tight fit with a gigantic tank for a phone case!

I believe Navigon is owned by Garmin now

I bought a cheap mount with a suction cup that i can wedge into the ash tray - so this is where my iPhone is mounted now. Easy to remove when not required and not obtrusive.

I have a radio that support Bluetooth. I can use it as a handsfree but also stream BT music.

Not that I hear a lot, particularly when the roof is down ... :)

Yup - they are. The interface is so much better on the Garmin, though. Faster, too.

That's the one...

I use a Motorola Droid Razr windshield mount for my daily, but I like the GripGo for the weekend cars. It works as advertised.
