iphone Mount?

i've ditched using the XM unit in my 997.2 and have decided to subscribe to the XM online service and listen to XM through my iPhone instead (and also listen to pandora). The challenge I have with this is that there really is no convenient spot to put my iPhone, especially with the short porsche iPhone cable. I am thinking of getting an extension cable so that I can put the iPhone somewhere further away from the armrest bin, but i'm not sure of the best place to put it.

Where do you all store your connected iPhone?

You can always sign up for NavTraffic separate from the XM Radio service. I use a lot of Spotify in the car personally, and I usually just throw my phone in the passenger seat (the cable should go that far).

Lookup proclipusa. I have their iPhone mount and it is excellent.

Loooks like it patches in underneath. The question is, when you tie in the USB for charging, does that still give you the USB input option in the center armrest storage?

Then there is the usual problem of these solutions not working if you have a case on your iPhone as the docs are tightly sized.

Also, I'd be worried about hitting the iphone with my arm when shifting. I can see that getting snapped off at some point, in an unceremonious way, and damaging the dock.

Again... check out proclipusa... Their solution mounts down low, just to the right of the center stack at about the level of the climate controls. It's specific by car brand/model, and I believe they had versions that fit iPhones with cases or without, depending on which one you order. It's a good product.

(I'm not affiliated with them, but I'm a satisfied customer )
