Can anyone recommend a good car mount?
I just bought some cheesy magnetic thing from Amazon. Will be returning ASAP. Ideally, I think I'm looking for something that can clip into either the air vents or on the dash of my car. I realized there probably aren't many pixel specific accessories made yet, but maybe someone has had good success with a different model for an earlier phone?
Anyway just wondering what you all were planning on using.
I've been using a good magnetic mount for the CD slot in my car since the Nexus 5 days. I like the Koomus brand of them from Amazon.

I personally been using ProClip for a while. With my Nexus 6 I have a universal one since I have a thin case it slips in. Mounts are made per vehicle too.

I've had the third generation iOttie car mount for about a year, and it is excellent. It doesn't have a vent clip, but its suction cup mount is very sturdy. It even comes with a little pad you can use if your dash is textured.
I second the ProClip. You can get a custom mount for your vehicle, and select a separate holder. I've got a custom mount and a universal holder that can be adjusted if you switch phones.
I second the recommendations for iOttie mounts. I bought their wireless charging one back when I got my Galaxy S6, but I still use it with my Pixels because it is incredibly convenient to secure and remove the device. Excellent quality, usability, and adjustability, well worth the purchase.

Looks like a solid product! I have an '09 Kia Spectra and the dash doesn't look like an easy place to put a phone mount. I checked out their custom mount for my car and the only drawback I can see is it completely covers a vent (for a/c) which may or may not be an issues, I won't know until mounted but.. Any experience with that for you?
Yea on my prior vehicle I had it cover the vent. It was out far enough so it still put out air but it wasn't really directional as far as flow as before. Center ones I didn't care as much about being pointed at me to keep cool. It was a solid bracket though

Thanks! They do look solid ...
I have an existing car mount for my S7 before I got the XL, it holds the phone in landscape and squeezes the sides. Little concerned that this may not be good for the squeeze sensors. Anyone think it could affect the sensors over time?
I have this one since May 2016 no issues and easy off and on for various phones..I have vent but they make cd slot and I think window too

Another vote for Proclip's mounting solution. The universal large holder works fine with my Pixel 2 XL with a (Caseology Parallax) case. It's pricey but it works beautifully.
I just ordered the IOAuto magnet holder to use with Proclip's mounting bracket. I'm tired of sliding my phone into the holder. 1st world problems, I know.

How does that work exactly? Which iOttie did you buy, and how does it work with the ProClip bracket?

I bought the IOAuto Pro. It attaches to the vehicle mount that I purchased previously from Proclip. It comes with small circular metal disks that should be attached to your phone.
I hate the thought of using adhesive to stick anything on my phone so I'm going to try and place the disk between the phone and my TPU case. In think the magnet will still work fine.
Check out YouTube. I've seen a couple of videos of others installing it.

I like this simple magnetic holder:
Techmatte MagGrip Orbit Universal Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount Holder
It requires a thin metal plate which works fine if you use a TPU case or other case that's not too thick on the back; this way, it doesn't require any permanent application. I bought 3 for family members, and a friend got one after seeing mine. It's easy to mount, secure, very simple in design - it uses a steel ball that mounts to an air vent, and a magnetic piece that connects to the ball, giving easy adjustment in all directions, or complete removal. This magnetic piece connects to the phone's steel plate. My wife has an iphone 6P which works well; I have a nexus 5X.

I'm curious to see if that works out for you. I'm intrigued, but it seems like $50 is a bit steep for that mount. If it works well for you with a case, I may consider it though.
I know my solution isn't going to be for everyone, but it works well for my needs. I have a hybrid Proclip/Ram Mount solution. Proclip for the center dash mount, then Ram Mounts for the rest (ball, short arm, and X Grip holder). It's more involved than the common solutions, but it puts my phone right whereIi want it and it's rock solid--which is important for those track days.
As mentioned upthread, this does partially block the vent, but on my Mustang not by too much, and the passenger still gets air flow when it's directed their way. A bonus is the phone stays nice & cool when staying on playing podcasts while commuting, or running the telemetry apps while on track.
I can strongly recommend this one. They're a little pricey but I have them in my truck, car, 4-wheeler and mountain bike. Just the spring clips are strong and when you add the rubber sling it'll hold on to the phone almost no matter what. This one actually fits my P2XL better than my PXL. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0066BWMNU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi guys, I just picked up the ARKON SM515 mount for my GS3 and I love it. I think it was $16 on amazon. (link to their site http://www.arkon.com/Galaxy S III/slimgrip-galaxy-s-3-mini-windshield-car-mount.html ) They also have one called the AP515 which is for the iphone and its a few bucks cheaper but I just don't know if the GS3 will fit. The SM514 is similar to the 515 but it's a tiny bit bigger due to the adjustable arm (another great one to consider if you have the room for it) Anyway I mounted in a weird spot near my radio on the center of the dashboard. It can swivel in almost any direction which is cool and it's holding on tight. You can adjust the feet that hold the phone and they have rubber padding that way they won't scratch anything. I mounted mine using the included dashboard sticky pad. Here's a few pics taken with my bionic. (not the best camera)
p.s. In case any of you are wonder i'm using the Fosmon TPU + clear back case from amazon. It's around 6 bucks.
Deffinately thinking I'll order one. Been wanting a good mount for my car witht he new phone.

Taking the phone off the mount is pretty easy but this thing does hold it pretty firmly in place. I don't know how easy The 3M sticky pad will come off as it feels pretty solid on there. In my case my dash is plastic so it should come off pretty easily (but not too easy I hope) . You may want to contact their customer service and see what they say about it

For you guys that don't like windshield mounts, I've used the "sticky" Arkon mount. It works pretty well. I like the Mobile Grip, but if you use a big case like an otterbox, you'll probably be better off with the slim-grip, that thing will hold anything.

I've been using the iOttie one touch mount. There's a newer one that just came out called the Easy Flex 2 but I've been using the original one called Easy One Touch. Best car mount I've used. There's a button on the dock plate that when pushed in the 2 arms grab onto the phone and it's pretty secure. To remove it just squeeze the 2 buttons on the side of the mount and the arms open up and the phone pops out.
It's not a powered dock so you have to plug in your adapter straight into the phone. Most times if my phone is fully charged I don't plug it in and it's a very clean look.
I keep an NFC sticker by the dock to turn on GPS and car mode so with this mount everything is just so quick. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

Good evening!
I'm in need of some suggestions.
I'd like to get a mount to put my phone in but I'm kind of out of ideas..
Here's where I'm at:
-I don't want a window mount. I've had one fall off and explode my phone before.
-I don't have a CD player so I can't use a CD slot mount.
-A cup holder mount wouldn't work well in a 04 Aveo's cup holder.
-A lighter mount wouldn't work because the cup holder is on top of it.
Otherwise, I have no idea where to mount my phone!
Any ideas/suggestions?
I bought a Kenu Airframe for my current phone (iPhone 5. Waiting for my OPO!). It's a mount that goes onto your air vent. The phone doesn't slip or move at all. I got it on sale. There's an Airframe+ for 5.5 inch screens. I haven't tried the Airframe+, but I suspect it works the same.
Can you let me know if the OPO fits in the original Airframe? People were reporting it working with a Galaxy S4 with a case so it might be close. The vents in my car are vertical, though, so I wonder if it would slip off...

OPO has to use a universal clip, but even that fits than 2-3 other ones I've tried for the OPO.

I got my Airframe the other day and can confirm that it works just fine with the OPO and my vertical vents.
I have to make sure the direction of the vent is all the way up or it pushes the vent fin out of alignment (requiring me to take the dash apart to fix it!)
It's a little wobbly for my taste but it's better than the phone sitting on the seat next to me!
Thank you guys for the suggestion.

Has anyone found a car mount/dock that has a built in charger and/or audio out? It's kind of a pain to have to hook up the charge cord and audio cord every time I want to put the phone in my car mount. My old Samsung G2 mount was like that. Just plug your charge cord into the mount, as well as your audio cord, then when you slipped the phone in the cradle, it would slide into the usb, start charging and have an audio out signal.
used an airframe for my nexus 5, i didnt like it, due to how it was positioned in my honda civic. it was always diagonal facing away from me.

I use the Keno+ for Phablets. I drive a 2013 Honda civic and it plugs right into the vent to the right of the steering wheel. It works great, never fallen out, easy to adjust. I'd definitely recommend this one. Kenu Airframe+ Car Mount for Phablets.
I recently picked up a Scosche MagicMount at Walmart. The price was decent and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it holds the phone in place. The steel plate fits inside my case, and the phone doesn't move when attached to the mount.
After using it a bit I decided the mount location was too low for my taste, so I just ordered this version to move it up higher and make it adjustable. I don't have the new one yet, so no pics, but if it works like the flat version I'll be happy.
I use this GreatShield mount:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KVJAZVY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00
It's solid and holds the phone still, so I can't complain.
I use this one:

I'll vouch for these too. I even use 2 to hold my iPad mini on my dash. Although I bought them from ebay, more expensive at 2 for £5GBP, but you get them in 3 days rather than the estimated 30-60 days from aliexpress.

I use this iOtie holder and it is perfect. The gel pad sticks without any issue and I'm not worried about it falling off on these crappy Dallas roads.
What is everyone using?
My old side spring grip style one isn't going to work. I love the thing but it either presses on the volume buttons or activates Assistant. Have any of you found one that works without these issues?
I'm considering one of the magnetic ones but I don't like the idea of having to add a piece of metal to the back of my case.
Any success stories?
I've been using this one since my pixel 1. Love it, the build is ridiculously solid, I'll probably never need to buy a mount ever again. It's only a few solid aluminum pieces. The metal plates you put on your case are very thin. The magnetic pull doesn't start until it literally gets to the plate. The plate doesn't look bad. But that's the only draw back I think. I'm happy with it though. Good luck!
I mounted mine on my window, my wife has hers on the dashboard. It's been about a year and is lasting very well. The mount shows no wear and tear.

That is pretty cool. Make a good Xmas gift too.

I really like the looks of those! Very clean.
Have you had any issues with the phone wanting to spin on the mount?
Thanks,

I'm waiting for my Pixel 2 to arrive, but I use a Spigen Magnetic Mount for my air vent currently. They offer a windshield/dash mount also. It holds very tight, but not too tight. No issue with the phone falling and/or rotating during driving.
I'm wondering if any of the Spigen cases will work without the need to put the metal plate inside. I currently have the metal plate inside the back cover of my Galaxy S5, but I can tell there is a bulge where it is placed.
I'm on the list to be notified when these release. By far the best holder charger combo I've ever used https://www.proclipusa.com/category/google-pixel-2
Can't tell you how disappointed when I popped my new phone into the dash mount only to watch the volume drop on it's own. The volume rocker placement on the Pixel 2 leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not a huge fan of magnets interfacing with computers to be honest. Hope I can find a decent alternative.
I use the Tetrax, both the Fix and Xway. Most of the time I use the Fix, because I like having my air vents actually blowing air on ME, but in the summer, on a long drive, using the GPS and charging the device, it can sometimes get warm. I just take it off the Fix, and move it to the air vent to let the air conditioner cool it down. I've used this system for nearly a decade, not sure if the Pixel 2 will get warm enough to need the air vent.
The only thing you need to put on the phone is a small metal button. The package comes with several sizes. I adhere this to my Spigen Thin Fit case, so it doesn't have to be attached to the actual phone.

I got two of these yesterday, one for me and another for a Xmas gift.
Works great. I have had co-workers, friends and family who have seen it, express interest in getting one for themselves.
I order 6 extra plates to go with each unit. It already comes with several extras. I have only used one plate so far because a allot of places I will use it are metal surfaces.
I put the thin disc on the back of my phone and put my case back on. Nothing to see until I actually use it.
Good mount.

Ok
Brodit
Adjustable active Brodit + ProClip :good:
I started using the Scosche magnetic mount with my Pixel 2 and really like it. The metal plate on the phone is very thin and I can't see it since I have a black TPU case. If you don't use a case or have a transparent one, you'll need to be ok with being able to see that. I already had a mounting surface on my car so I just stuck the magnet to that. I haven't noticed the magnet doing anything funky to my phone.

I second this, I find the magnetic car mount is by far the best I've ever used, the one i previously used, used to activate active edge or turn volume down, which was quite annoying.
Scosche
I was using Scosche before Brodit.
awesome
