I like the idea of mounting to the left of the screen, but I didn't like the idea of sticking something on there, that might be hard to get off. I just saw this LINQIN solution on Amazon that looks like a custom fit to the left of the screen.

Looks easy to install but wasn't sure how sturdy it would be, how good it'd look (cheap plastic?) or if anybody's seen other mounts that use a similar approach.

I might just try it and see what happens. I'm ideally looking for something like Qi charging too, but maybe one of my existing vent mounts could fit onto the ball of this thing.

The Kuda feels cheap, is hard to install and is not really fixed well (moves a bit) but does give the best mounting solution. So Kuda it is: but not fully satisfied but it does the job for now.

Attached some pictures.
Where did you order the kuda mount from? The kudausa site is broken, you can't enter a card expiration date after 2018.

I've quite recently got a straightforward vent-clip magnetic one now, and it's OK for the road. Doesn't hold so well on trails.

I've been looking at the ProClip mount. I think a couple of folks here have them modded to hold one or two kinds of real holders.

I was doing some looking to see you previously utilized it. Have you anyone had issues with the Proclip?

I found a dealer in Poland through eBay international who shipped me a G20/G80 KUDA mount. I couldn't be happier with this since it doesn't block any vents or buttons, a MAJOR, peeve of mine for all these phone mounts. I paired it with a Scosche MagiGrip from Proclipusa and it worked beautifully. Bonus is the LED light which isn't too bright, but a nice touch to add some visual flair.

Waze - It shows turn by turn on your phone when you are connected to CarPlay

Spotify - more functions are on screen that aren't on CarPlay like adding to a playlist.

Phone Calls - you can mute, hang up, put on hold etc with the phone and still have waze up on CarPlay.

Laptimer - I use RaceChrono for all my track days. It's especially helpful for tracks that aren't loaded into the Garmin Catalyst Driving Performance Analyzer, like autocross and small local tracks.

Anyone tried the MagSafe version? Can't tell if it's going to be too big and not fit because of the curved screen.
