Anyone got a good way to mount an iphone 5 on a 993 dash? I use it as sat nag. In my previous 997 I used a Brodit kit (v good!) but I don't know if the 993 equivalent is as good.
 
If you have a front loading CD player, you could do a lot worse than a cd sat nav mount. I have one in the daily driver, but it might a bit low in a 993. They are available on the net.
 
It was only a matter of time! :floor:
 
Iphone 5 Mount

Thanks for all the advice, including the witty one,. As soon as I see an innuendo I whip it out!

I found a device made by Mitec which holds the phone and plugs directly into the cig lighter. No keen on suction mounts as they tend to fall off. With bluetooth speaker on the sunvisor it makes enough noise to hear the speedcam warnings too. :grin:
 
Hi there - the Brodit clip works really well in 993's.....
 
Came across a few solutions for the 993 so thought I'd update this thread...

On top of the products mentioned on this thread:

Looks like some sort of Brodit product:

A similar product can be seen here...

A popular alternative these days seems to be the Kenu Airframe, which I'd be tempted to try:

I have come across the following too:

Steelie Car Mount Kit:

...and what seems popular in the States, they use this type of solution on the clock dial:

If you want a simple easy to use solution that doesn't require any fixing or modifications:
I use one of these.
the only problem is that it's a bit low down, but I prefer that to being stuck in my line of vision.
Available from your local Ebay stockist.

 
Hi

I like the sucker on the clock face idea. Great thinking. Do you have a pic? What mount design works well for that?

All the best

Hi

Perfect. I have one of those already. When I get back to the UK, will try it out on the clock.

I usually have it on the windscreen if making a video.......

All the best

I use one of these:

http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H...e-portable-car-vent-mount-for-iphone?fnode=46

Attached to the air vent near the driver's door. I have a power cable routed behind the dash that emerges from the end of the dash where it meets the door. This connects in and the the audio is routed via a parrot Bluetooth unit. This means the phone keeps it's charge when in use as a GPS.

It's neat and I'm mostly happy. Drawbacks are the hands free mic is not effective (mounted behind the steering wheel) and the speakers are not really loud enough as I have an RS interior (no sub etc). This is mostly a problem at motorway speeds although audio directions from the map application are the least effected.

Sorry no pics as the car is away for a little 'adjustment' in a magic cave near bank quay.
