Phone Cradle - ProClip

Finally found a phone cradle for the I8! It's made by ProClip and fits my iPhone 7 with a case perfectly. Sits off to the side so I have access to all controls. Ran a short USB cable to the phone to charge, no more long wires or phone flying around the cabin. I use Waze & Pandora apps all the time so I needed visibility to my phone.

This is my favorite combo; adjustable car mount on plastic disc with tape backing.

I wedge the edge of the disc next to the instrument cluster so the the car mount is just to the right of the steering wheel. See PDF

Love the ProClip! I purchased this

And used double sided stick tape to mount it to the phone holder. The cable connects to the outlet under the glove box. My iPhone X slips right in.
