Mobile phone holder

Recommended Posts

I'm desperately searching for a mobile phone holder that will successfully fit my 2006 S-Type V6 3.0l. I want to use Google Maps since there's no recent Navigation CD since 2012.

I've tried one that attached to the air vent but wobbled a lot, and one that went into the CD player slot but got in the way of the gear lever when going into Park!

Any helpful suggestions?

Thanks

Frank - How do I get a discount at Halfords, do I just mention the club?

Jim - The trouble with that website is that they only show a 2012 disc for the Denso system in the S-Type!

Thanks both

I am very happy with the holder I got from Amazon which is also a wireless charger (don't have to bother with plugging/unplugging phone). It fits on the vent and has a clamp which keeps it secure. It's been in my S-Type for over 2 years without any trouble.

Edit to add link.

Thanks for that Richard. Just how stable is it on the vents, and will I need a QC 3.0 adaptor, as shown in the product description?

Mick

Re stability, It has been over 2 years and it is still there, there is very little wobble if clamped tight.

Re the QC3.0, I can't say, I use the lead that came with it, plugged into my F.M. converter. Running the Sat Nav with screen on and using the phone as a jukebox, after a 3 hour run it's still at 100% charge. (I've used it with Pixel3 and Pixel 5).

My main concern is that I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra, with a case, which I think is bigger and heavier than the Pixels. I can't say that I'm too worried about having wireless charging, just a stable platform!

I don't have an S Type yet but this works great on my scooter and Jeep

In the end I went with a UGREEN holder that has an additional stabiliser,   https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085987BG7/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_8NEE8SM1ANVB05JPS9B1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It seems OK at the moment,  just need to give it a long, twisty, run!

Thanks for your advice.

Bought this recently from Home Bargains @ £9.99p. Is extremely stable. Robust. Holds the screen very well. Does not obstruct view too much. Is massively adjustable to suit angle you want.

Best Wishes and Regards, John
