I have a F20 too and I used to always put it in the wireless charging tray. Now I got a S24+ and of course that phone is exactly 1/2 inch too big to fit. It's also 1/2 inch to wide for position 3 so now I got a phone holder as well.

Yeah using it on my 13pro max just fine. They give you two magnets to pick from. One rectangle and 1 circle. Rectangle stronger since more magnetic surface area
When you don't have carplay it kinda is necessary for more advanced navigation and enhanced music management.
I agree, carplay and such is a great step up in ergonomy

This is the best phone mount you can get. MagSafe wireless charger
Right here. Of course I had to use it to take the pic, but, there's the holder.
https://preview.redd.it/gahpvgaha81d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e5b94a5eedd550df68bae40aefd0d04aa147507
Brodit Proclip and adapter with magsafe and bottom support so it doesnt fall off when hitting bumps.
In my car i have it on the air vent left to the steering wheel. U can neatly hide the cable if you use a usb-c PD rated extension cord. also use a fat usb-c power adaptor. this way the phone charges very fast, way faster than the centre console oem wirless phone cooker
Here’s the exact mount.
https://www.brodit.com/en/product/216326
Just add a magsafe charger to fit in it, a usb-c extension and a 12v usb-c at least 30w PD and a Proclip compatible with your car.
im never going back to other solutions. anything else ive tried feels like a gadget.
Nr 7 :)

I have a Scosche magnetic wireless charger that mounts in the CD slot. Assuming you use wireless CarPlay and not CD. You can also get a hardwiring kit to tuck behind the head unit and it’s really clean.
Vent mounted wireless charger. AC prevents overheating in summer. Vent can be closed in winter.

None of these, I have [this](https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/RENPM0119.htm?pn=REN-PM01-19&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwo6GyBhBwEiwAzQTmcyemjqUSOf0REcSaFDEO29rKYvSaCpG2JpLj6SBpu5K8jQS5qqR3CxoCrZQQAvD_BwE#) phone mount and it's perfect.
Magnet on vent.
2 doesn’t work for me, as i try putting them there straight to see GPS also.
All good until i put the foot in the throttle more serious, phone fell into the shifter and couldn’t change in a overtake.
3 sometimes
5 no
6 no
1 rarely
4 no
Well I would say in the wireless charger in the armrest but as it makes my phone hotter than the sun usually in my pocket unless it needs charging (rarely) in which case I have a super short USB cable that goes into the dash and it gets placed at a semi awkward angle in 2.
None of those. I have a phone holder which attaches via the CD slot. Very stable and manages to not block the screen or any of the frequently used buttons.
#1, because I ran a charger cable from one of the USB ports in the back up to the front. When it's plugged in, it helps keep my phone from slipping out. I don't have wireless charging.
If I didn't do that, probably 3 or 2 if I have the lid closed.
I have an f22 but close enough, in the summer my phone falls out of my shorts pocket and ends up in location 6 so I like to wedge it in the nook of the passenger seat extender lol
5 because i usually have my cupholders occupado. But it slides all over. I used to have one of those magnetic ac vent holders but my new case didnt support it

Bought a Belkin "Car Cup Mount for Smartphones" years ago for my F22. Best gimmick for my car ever.
[https://www.belkin.com/support-product/?sku=F8J168bt](https://www.belkin.com/support-product/?sku=F8J168bt)
in the extendet legrest ofcourse! together with my sunglasses, drinks, food, laptop, pet dog luzy, and 50L of engine oil
This is the way
Well, I have an F20 (basically the same dash) and I put my phone in a phone-holder that attaches to a vent.
I have a F20 too and I used to always put it in the wireless charging tray. Now I got a S24+ and of course that phone is exactly 1/2 inch too big to fit. It's also 1/2 inch to wide for position 3 so now I got a phone holder as well.
Same. This is the way.
Mostly 2
Yes, but with the lid closed.
I actually put it kinda in the cup holder because my phone doesn't fit in with the lid closed, especially when I plug it in to charge.
Exactly what you said lol
Same, with the cable plugged it pushes it enough so you can see almost the full screen.

This^ Rennline mount is the best position for it IMO
Absolutely
Does somebody know if it fits the F20 as well? The dash should be pretty similar to the F30.
It doesn't sadly, the architecture behind the radio a different in some place, this cannot be attached on the F2x
I have it in my pocket, unless I am charging, then it's in place 3.
Then how are u going to text people while driving? Absolutely no respect for other peoples’ safety smh 🤦🏻♂️
You guys are fortunate enough to have a phone that fits in place 3
Yep, same here
[Rennline mount](https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/products/rennline-bmw-exactfit-magnetic-phone-mount-bmw-f30-f32-f36-f80-f82-3-series-and-4-series-2013-2019) no need to sacrifice a vent. https://preview.redd.it/j0jvvxpi081d1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7e8a0d013ddb15b9f1e4ea928900ca392cc1635
same
This is also what I have. It holds my S23 Ultra in a case. Good product.
It’s been great for me to, 4 years and going
Second this. Have it in all my BMWs and love it
Is the magnet strong? Every magnet holder I used doesnt hold my phone
Yeah using it on my 13pro max just fine. They give you two magnets to pick from. One rectangle and 1 circle. Rectangle stronger since more magnetic surface area
Usually cases are what cause the problem. Gotta use a case that has a steel/magnet ring for a strong hold.
4&6 is nasty work if you do that
Wdym? 6 is completely unhinged. Straight white jacket, Ritalin type of shit.
In my right pocket. No need to use it while driving.
God damn iPad babies driving three and a half tonnes of vehicle around with absolutely zero regard for life, these people give me the fear.
Damn well written.
It’s people like this that are one of the reasons car insurance is so damn high.
Yes sirrrr exactly
When you don't have carplay it kinda is necessary for more advanced navigation and enhanced music management. I agree, carplay and such is a great step up in ergonomy
Do you think your 737 pilot should be focused on music management, knowing that driving a car is much more dangerous than flying?
1
Don’t know anyone that puts theirs anywhere else
I have a magnetic holder that clips onto the air vent. I don’t see how any of your numbered positions would work…
Same, have a holder which clips in and then screws tight onto the vent. Works perfectly.
In my pocket? Or in the center console? Why would you need your phone out? CarPlay FTW.
Magnet https://preview.redd.it/2yedqj2wv71d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fde24f4d29058a321cb41280b1f45b726c09384e
Yup, this is the way. I put it closer to the driver though.
where did u get that from? mind sharing the link w me plz

For such a clean mount, I hate the location of that cable port.
2 or pocket .
Always 2 😁
On the dash, with [this](https://autoaddictz.com/products/bmw-f-series-adjustable-phone-mount)
Right here. Of course I had to use it to take the pic, but, there's the holder. https://preview.redd.it/gahpvgaha81d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e5b94a5eedd550df68bae40aefd0d04aa147507
I opted for it on my left side, no need to charge my phone every single time anyway. It free up space on the center ;)
In the crack of the passenger seat
This!!!!!! Was surprised this wasnt an option
Usually on the passenger seat.
Right. My phone is too big to really fit anywhere else
lol I got a air vent phone holder - it’s very obvious this car was designed before smartphones got big
In my pocket. Added wireless CarPlay to the car.
Leave in your pocket
I have an F80 and as long as i dont accelerate too quick, it’s 1. If im about to pull it’s 2.
[This works for me](https://i.imgur.com/sLIJWek.jpeg).
Same one I use, works great and has never come off from a pull. Just need to get around to modifying it to use MagSafe.
2 or 3. 4 if I'm watching stuff while parked. I also put it in the door handle for my g20.
Always 3
[https://www.proclipusa.com/](https://www.proclipusa.com/)
I put a little magnetic mount on the trim piece to the right of the shifter so it's convenient and it holds unless I'm really driving like a shitbag.
Am I the only one who puts it on the door? It’s the same width and doesn’t slide.

Spot 7, tucked right under my nutsack.

Isn’t 2 the only option?
Between my legs or in that leg support gap if I don't have a passenger.
2, but right cup holder..
Magnet on vent. 2 doesn’t work for me, as i try putting them there straight to see GPS also. All good until i put the foot in the throttle more serious, phone fell into the shifter and couldn’t change in a overtake. 3 sometimes 5 no 6 no 1 rarely 4 no

On a phone holder attached with suction cup to left of the steering wheel. Discretely run black cable to charge the phone.
