Car holder

[Pint]

Evening all.

I'm looking to get a holder for my 5c to fit on the dash of the car (mk7 fiesta) without any drilling etc. Would also like it to have a built in charger.

What would you all recommend?

 

[zedx19]

I use the Brodit Proclip on my Mondeo, sort of hooks behind the dash, no drilling. Not cheap but do work very well.

 

[AK]

Brodit are by far the best I've seen, expensive though.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Yup Brodit all day long. Much better off getting the vent ones rather than the glovebox ones mind... they're expensive yes but I take them from car to car.

I have a cheap vent one off eBay that is actually really solid, was only a 5r if u want the link

Tetrax holder,very discreet.

This.

I bought a vent one for my van off of amazon for £12, utter crap, everytime you went round a bend the bloody thing moved side to side.

Now got a Brodit that sits by the glove box, very well made and fits great.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Completely disagree with that as I found the glove box one useless, it fell out a few times per week. Gave up and bought a vent one and it's been absolutely spot on everyone's different I guess lol.

The Brodit one is early secured by using stringer double sided tape. The stuff you get with it isn't great. I used some I got with a number plate I bought. Been in place for over a year and hasn't moved once.

I'm properly confused with the brodits. There seems s**t loads that look the same but vary in price by about £30.

Is this what I need?

Then screw this to the above?

 

[bozothenutter]

It's simple
Select the car mount, then the holder.
There are several types (ie lighter/permanent/swivel/non swivel)

Thanks For the link Rob but it still highlights my confusion like with amazon.

I can't work out what the actual difference is between all of these.

They all look the same yet have different model numbers.

I may be being thick but I can't work it out.

There's 2 parts to a Brodit. The car and the phone.

You can spend more on the phone mount if you want to have a charger etc, but the one above has a gap to plug your own charger into.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I just went with the one that you plug your own charger into. I was cheaper and it's no hassle plugging your cable in as apposed to having one permanently attached.

 

[Tom]

I spent years "doing it properly" with brodit stuff.

In the end its a huge ballache. Especially when you (presumably) have Sync fitted. The Sync app link update is on the horizon and personally i wouldn't bother with a holder at all.

I'm currently running one of these and its pretty decent.

More importantly its not semi permanent like the brodit solution.

 

[.Simon]

I have the non-permanent Brodit hold for my 1 Series - it's awesome, you can remove it in under a minute if needed and doesn't leave any marks etc.

I had what Tom linked to above in my Mondeo however found the suction pad gave up after 6 months or so - it was one of the official ones too, can't remember the name of it though.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I have no idea what sync is. My Brodit is a holder for my phone that I plug my charger into. It links to the head unit via Bluetooth. Had it for about 18 months and it's brilliant imo.

 

[Gouldy]

I've had a montar universal car mount and a Belkin car charger for around 2 years. Best in car holder IMO. It's on my dash constantly and it has only ever fallen off once when it was silly warm last year. It fastens to the dash with a sticky suction cup that leaves no marks too.

Both can be found on Amazon for sale. I hope this helps

Just don't use a company called Mount On Us... bloody awful!

 

[Ethan1996]

Im debating one of these -

Fair enough you end up with a magnet stuck to the back of your phone (case) but its 4 quid and I think looks a good idea with decent reviews?

 

[daydotz]

I've just ordered one of these pricey but sounds good http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00D901B4W/?tag=cliospnet01-21

[CrippsCorner]
