A few years ago I had my '06 DB9's wood refinished, and while the pieces were out I decided to install Grom's Bluetooth interface and do a few other things (like having some of the interior plastic bits wrapped and replacing the plastic transmission selector buttons with the glass buttons). The Grom installation has been very useful: my car will now play any music I have stored on or stream with my iPhone, and I also now have a USB input and an audio AUX input available.
But I never found a great place or system to actually mount my phone.
Today I was cleaning my garage and noticed a piece of 1/4" aluminum scrap, and that gave me an idea. I cut it to fit the little storage well in the center console, cleaned it up, and anchored it with some of that poster putty you can use to hang stuff on your wall (holds nicely, but can be easily removed anytime). Then I bought a Scosche Magic Mount (suction cup one end, magnet the other) from Target.
The suction cup holds the mount firmly to the aluminum plate, and the magnet holds to an adhesive metal strip that attaches to my phone case.
Personally, I think it looks tidy and I love the positioning of the phone (it does not block the bottom row of buttons, even though it looks like it in one of the photos). Also, it can be very easily removed. The aluminum plate also looks "right" in the cabin, and doesn't look white like it does in the photos.
Your mount looks modern...BTW is your center console CF or a wrap?
I've found that a phone mount so low and away from your field of vision is highly distracting unless you don't ever use it while driving.
I use a magnetic mount attached to the drivers side AC vent. It holds the phone out about 1.5 inches from the vent so it allows plenty of air movement and it practical to view for nav or music functions since I never use the built in navigation.
It's wrapped. I didn't feel guilty wrapping the plastic pieces that were already "fake aluminum!" BTW, the wrap is now nearly 6 years old and it's held up great.
