new ProClip iPhone 5 lightning attachment holder, just released monday. Arrived today and attached easily to previous ProClip mounting plate. Can now have it plugged in to power or usb slot in glove box while driving. Whew..these 5's sure use the battery with all their gizmo gizmo woo-woo.

 

Looks nice, but $90 seems a bit much. How exactly does it mountntonthe car. It's hard to see in the picture.

 

I do all my work through the iPhone these days, it seems like..battery power is not a luxury for me - it is a necessity and I need it topped off when I leave the car. Additionally several gps-type mobile applications are perfectly suited for the mounting position in a daily driver.

This is simply the very best, highest quality, iPhone swivel mount (and now engineered for the lightning cord) available. They even have an option including a USB to car-lighter adapter (that's what I ordered) but plugged into the USB slot in the glove box is working fine so far and recharging the phone (some will not in past experience). So, doubly I'd like to thank Porsche for giving us actual usable power in the glovebox USB.

Benchmark Motoring in Seattle made the custom fabricated metal sleeve that we mounted the ProClip swivel mount onto a while back. I will ask them to hardwire the power cord if possible (maybe not with the USB) or put it out of sight, tuck it away or something.

We have the option of going into either the USB or the lighter-socket power in the 991's glovebox, what an awesome setup from Porsche.

 

Nicoli - I did go to their site and watch the video about installing the cable. My question was how does the whole device attach to the car. Is it bolted in or does that metal piece just slide over the space between the PCM and edge of the console?

 

The metal piece between the PCM and edge of console is a custom fabricated attachment made for me by Benchmark Motoring in Seattle. I have the ProClip mounted to that.

My contact at Benchmark is Justin Karis and his email is Justink@benchmarkmotoring.com if you wish to get the same thing. ProClip offers mounting solutions also but they cannot compare to Benchmark's custom fabricated piece for our 991's so I have merged the two.

 

Got it. Thanks for the info and contact. Looks like a pretty cool device.

 

Hey my pleasure - sorry for the confusion on the mounting. I just share because figure maybe someone else is looking for a solution also. It is a bit costly but it works soooo well.
