Cell Phone Placement
Couldn't find any reference to this with a forum search, so hopefully not beating a dead horse here...
I'm curious if anyone has found a holder and location for their cell phone that they find secure and well-placed in the i3. I took a look at ProClip, but the placement of their attachment is below the vents, which is way too low for me. I'd like to find an attachment that allows for placement above or alongside the i3's screen, but haven't been able to find one yet. Any suggestions from the community here? Cheers, Chad |

Here's the mount I used: https://www.amazon.com/SCOSCHE-MAGWD...gateway&sr=8-2 I had to use the stick on circular pad on the dash since it wouldn't hold a seal. To me, this is the perfect spot.

If you are flexible to mounting it lower, there are a few options that plug into the i3's removable cup holder sockets on the front of the center console:
https://www.multicopterwarehouse.com/mcwh-bmwi3 I plug my iPhone in through the USB port and interact with it through the iDrive menus for the few things that I need to be using a phone for while driving. I do miss Apple Carplay, but can live with the BMW stuff.....

Thanks for the replies. I'm really trying to find a mount option that will let the phone be near the i3 screen sounds like a glass or dash mount may be my only option.

The Kuda Mount is at the right height.

I tried 4 different models, ended up going with this guy (https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Wirele.../dp/B07X5159GW) and mounted the pad in the back left corner of the area under the iDrive screen, and was able to get it angled so that it sits cleanly to the left of the iDrive screen w/o blocking it.

Waze has a turn by turn that displays on the phone while displaying just the next turn on CarPlay. It makes a nice companion to the iDrive. Also, when I'm watching movies I like to have waze on the phone since he iDrive screen will be playing the movie.

On a side note, my trusty Kiwi3 and iPhone worked flawlessly with Bimmercode on my 2015 i3: https://www.plxdevices.com/ProductDe...e=897346002832 Probably a little bit too expensive for one use coding an i3, but handy if you have other combustion-powered vehicles in your garage/driveway.....
