Brodit phone mounts

[MrTesco]

Afternoon guys n girls.

Decided to go for a Brodit phone mount system.

However I'm struggling to decide on what mount to go for as I also have to phone plugged into the USB for the Android auto system for satnav, so I wanted to keep it as tidy as possible.

Has anyone got pictures of any of the mounts installed with a cable running.

I run this brodit mount for a wile in the loner kombi i had , it worked well with the phone in a good position. There is 12v in the top tray in a kombi (not sure with a van) but i dont think it wired for media ? https://www.t6forum.com/threads/phone-holders.208/#post-1689

I have been swaying towards the top one, but like you say it covers the 12 socket but to be fair I haven't used the 12v socket yet so I suppose I shouldn't miss it. Cheers for the reply and the link

I had Brodit mounts in an old motor. Best mounts I'd ever had, but I copped out and had someone else fit them.
How simple/tricky a job is this for a clumsy oaf of a newb ?

Does that not impede the buttons too much?

Nope, I think it's the angle of the photo, it is held in place with a large 3M patch ( from GoPro mount) so can be decided when you fix it. The swivel is tight enough to stay still but can be swivelled with phone in it which allows the phone to be pushed back flush to the lid of the cubby.
As it's an active mount the cable plugs into the USB socket behind for the app connect.

I'm thinking of buying this Brodit phone mount, as I don't want to cover up an air vent, but does anyone have 1 fitted & if so how much does it cover the buttons behind it?
Are they still accessible - Stop / Start especially

 

[MrTesco]

Cannot help with regard to the buttons but I have this Brodit that doesn't cover the vent, does however cover the 12v socket on top but I've never used that

I have the same mount(s) in the van. If you buy the LHD version, it fits the passenger side, so you can have his 'n hers. Re the 12V socket under the drivers side one. You can get a low profile plug in USB charger & a short 1ft cable with a 90deg plug that fits into the socket under the brodit bracket. Makes for a nice tidy install.

The passenger side holder is off for modification to a MagSafe charger as per my other thread.

I'd be more concerned about the hazards not being accessible.?

@Loz - can I be cheeky and ask you to post a couple of pics of your install? (I remember seeing something where you used some very strong double-sided tape?)
