Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

When I installed a holder for my iPod 5 years ago I just got a flat sheet of steel (robbed from the back of an old washing machine), cut out an L-shape then bent the bottom of the L at 90 degrees.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Following on from my other thread and me using the 996 as my daily driver now.....where do you guys put your phone holder? I have a cubby free in the centre but it is just empty but would be an idea place for the phone to be held in place. Failing a solution to that do you just attach something to the windscreen? IceBoy PS. any photos would be helpful.

POST 2Original post

I have Brodit powered holder thats screwed in to place on the side of the centre consul Best place for it and it keeps your device powered too :thumb: Osh

POST 3Original post

When I installed a holder for my iPod 5 years ago I just got a flat sheet of steel (robbed from the back of an old washing machine), cut out an L-shape then bent the bottom of the L at 90 degrees. Sprayed it black and stuck it with double-sided sticky tape to the top of the centre console, then svrewed a generic phone/iPod cradle to the front of it. Lasted until I updated my head unit and didn't need it. Write-up here: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=94779

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for info and inspiration. Iceboy

POST 5Original post

There was a forum member who posted a picture of the phone on one of those magnetic mounts with a ball arm set in the cubby hole under the CD holders which worked really well.

POST 6Original post

thats what i have and it works well for me :thumb: on my work pc at the mo which doesn't let me post pics but can post one later if interested? or have pics of it on my project thread

POST 7Original post

I tried a magnetic holder and it was an excellent method of measuring cornering force - moderate corner, phone now diagonal, tight corner, phone horizontal, enthusiastic corner, phone in footwell.

POST 8Original post

I have a magnetic ball one too, positioned just inside the cubby so the phone is held flat covering the cubby, stops it moving around.
