Default Phone Holder

Hey Guys, so I had an A/C vent phone holder from my previous car. However the prongs dont seem like they would work on the circular a/c vents in the A3/S3.

Was wondering what you guys did to solve this problem!

Thanks,

Niko

I purchased the cupholder type on Amazon. It fits into the cupholder quite well and the extra long goose neck let's me position the phone in a handy spot. Also it's quite close to the USB port in the arm rest and therefore the cord doesn't look bad when the phone is plugged in.

Hi,

This is the URL for the item on Amazon. They have some decent shots of the device on the site. I'll get a shot later from the A3 and post it up if you need it....

Although pricey, I went with the proclip mount and the right side of the dash. I've used their products in my past 3 vehicle, and they are very secure, and have charging options too.

If anyone is looking for a proclip slim mount for an iPhone 6 Plus (or 6S Plus) with integrated lightning cable and cig lighter usb adapter, send me a private message. Its never been used or mounted to anything.

This is the actual phone cradle, not the attachment point to the car.

Do you have a pic you can share? I've been debating ditching my vent mount for this, but am curious how it looks in the Audi.

Just installed my ProClip angled mount with the iPhone 6s holder (without case), super easy install, looks great. Worth the ~$60 shipped. Recommended!
