iPad and iPhone mount for PriusC

I have never used a car mount for a iPhone, but I've been eyeing a couple. It seems a cup holder would be too low, this cd mount looks interesting. It would be perfect to fit a mount behind the steering wheel in that little cubby, maybe instead of a clamp a spreader thing to grip the edge and a ball to swivel. I haven't looked into any iPad stuff, that would be cool too.

Amazon.com: Mountek nGroove CD Slot Mount, Universal Smartphone Car Mount for Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S, Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, Samsung [Inserts into CD/DVD Slot or Grooves in Dash]: Cell Phones & Accessories

 

Same price but includes free shipping at eBay. Listed as compatible with Prius (PDF).

 

When traveling with child who sits in the car-seat in the middle of the back seat, I make an iPad suspension from a single piece of cord. It holds iPad in landscape position between front seats, and ties down to metal posts of the headrests of two front seats. Cord forms two connected loops (loops are in the vertical plane), which are interconnected at the top of the iPad, preventing loops from moving apart. The cord does not obscure the picture as there is enough black space around the screen. Additionally, the cord can be secured at the back of the iPad with tape. It works in 2005 Prius, should work in C too

Thanks,

See the link in my post #3 above. Doesn't specifically say C, just "Prius", but I believe we all have the same head units.

 

It was pretty stable. It's not only hanging on the cord but also leaning against the front seats, so its about as stable as headrest- mount screens, at least on interstate.

I have just been using a vent mount for my iPhone in my c. It works great. Bought it from Walmart for $6.


iPhone ?

 

Link?

 

Right now I'm using the following for my Iphone:

SlipGrip Car Mount For iphone 4 4s Using LifeProof 2nd generation Case HV | eBay

 

I use a ProClip and it is 100% non intrusive to the OEM dash. Works great too.

 

Do you have a photo of it in use that you could post?

I was hoping to see an actual installation from someone here, rather than just generic photos from the manufacturer.

 

I will take some tomorrow and post!

 

I use this for my Galaxy Nexus and it will fit an iPhone too:
Capdase HR00-CA01 Car Mount Holder for Mobile Phones / iPhone / iPod / iPod Touch / GPS - Capdase - HR00-CA01
It suctions incredibly strong to smooth surfaces like the windshield but not at all to the bumpy dash. So then I also bought this:
Capdase Mounting Disc for Capdase Suction Car Mounts - Capdase - MD00-0001
A little sticky disc I can put on the dash so now the suction mount works.

They also sell a rear headrest mount for iPad:
Capdase Adjustable Car Headrest Mount Holder for Apple iPad / Tablet PC / Andriod Tablet - Capdase - HRAPIPAD-CH01

But not one for the driver to be able to see a tablet. And that's probably a good thing!

 

PROCLIP - iPhone 4S mount


CLOSE UP SIDE VIEW

Comes in 2 parts:
1) The main C attachment
2) Device holster


Device holster swivels and rotates


INSTALLATION
C Clip is thin and is held in place by wedging between molding by a thin grooved piece of plastic. It came with little tools to gently open the gap between the molding for a solid fit.

The main clip can be moved left or right as to be positioned any where in front of the air vents. I chose the middle so my phone would not block my HSI screen.


TOP PART OF CLIP


The top section also wedges between the molding with a small grooved piece of plastic for a nice fit.


I love it and it has worked very well so far. The phone holster can be adjusted to be wider or more narrow should I change cases on my phone. The ProClip comes in a custom size/fit for each car and phone device.
