Holder for phone Navigation Device?

[vracer]

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.
I've used them for years.

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?

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.
