I move mine between cars when running Waze, tried the Kenu but found it to be too unstable on the vents and also didn't like hot/cold temp directed to back of phone.
Blue Garuda magnetic mount works great with iPhone 6 plus. I use the leather Apple case and stuck the metal piece inside the case prior to putting case on the phone. Found it on Amazon. Very clean design that doesnt scratch plastic vents. Everyone that sees it wants one. Bought several for Wife and friends

Provides pretty well perfect portability and price ... providing a few things.
In my experience, it can plop under extreme conditions of phone and pressure...like if the phone is heavy/big, and phone case magnet attachment/placement chosen isn't good (near center of phone/balance...see picture. Maybe I should have moved a bit closer to center), and/or it can't hold well on grille vents which may not be a good match to the grippers. It may plop under high shock/G force conditions, like hitting a pothole hard or an 11 sec. quarter mile launch. Under normal conditions it is fine.
It works well enough on my S4 and LG L33L mid size phone. The provided metal plate is glued under the cover near center point. I liked it enough to buy two more mounts for other cars so (though easy) I don't have to remember to dismount holder when I switch cars. It works well in 2 of 3 other cars I tried it in... and OK in the third where the vent grille holes are very small.
Positioning the reader's view in a "safe spot" (uh, is this possible?) without obscuring something like the MMI display is tricky too. You 'll have these considerations with all mounts and cars. To improve/help, WizGear and others which are similar have swivel head versions I think...I didn't look/try.
Benefits include, iit is cheap, looks great, is nearly invisible and very easy to mount/dismount both the holder and also the phone (once you get the hang of sliding it off ) and put in any pocket.
YMMV...read the many reviews. Results will vary by car/vent/view and driver preferences etc. If unsure, it's cheap enough to try one. Before you ask, I haven't done a full test on vents during A/C season, but I don't use the center dash vents much anyway so am not very worried about that.
For proclip it says: NOTICE: View your dash, to ensure it matches with our photos. Some 2011 models used the 2010 style dash. Those 2011 models will need to use the ProClips designed for the 2010 models. Notice: Not for carbon fiber or wood grain dash trim - Including the glossy black/black wood grain.
Have any of you encountered problems with this as far as the carbon fiber or wood grain dash trim? I believe I have a wood grain dash trim.
