I just stuck a Wizgear under the dash to the right of the ashtray.

I use the Rennline one which looks sort of similar to that one.

I saw it was $75.00 on Rennline and this one in the photo is $ 28.00, but comes with no adjustment screw to fasten it around the clock......they must have knocked it off in design.......

I cant help but look at those things (when a phone is not mounted to it) and feel like it reminds me of those "steering wheel spinner" ***** that truckers and bus drivers use.

Andrew,
Either I leave it in my pocket and ignore it for safety's sake.
Or if using Waze or Google Maps I prop it up on the dash over the tachometer, wedges in there just perfectly.

Where did you get that? I'm using a cheap clip that attaches to the vent. It doesn't work well and is not adjustable to face me so I can see maps, etc.

I would go with the Rennline unit.....the cheaper one is not that well built and comes with no adjustment bolt/screw.........the one pictured is from overseas and little recourse.....

Does anyone make a windshield suction mount? I would prefer that over the Rennline where I need to mount a magnet on my phone.

I have a custom made 3D printed one that someone made for my 993. It slides into the ashtray. I actually no longer need it, so if anyone has an iPhone 12 Mini, the cradle he made me fits that phone. $50 plus shipping takes it. PM me if interested.

Call me a Luddite but I find driving my 993 to be sufficiently engaging that I don’t require auxiliary entertainment.
iphone 10 in soft case stays put under the handbrake.

Waze alerting of a cop or speed trap ahead isn't exactly entertainment, though slowing down and seeing the cop zapping lasers at Luddites and ticketing THEM instead of YOU is entertaining
