Cell Phone Car Mount for BMW vehicles

thingiverse

I just unleashed version 2.0, check it out because it's totally game-changing! I released two different 2.0 variations that attach in unique ways. Personally, I use the SLOTMOUNT version, it has a sleek lower profile, works flawlessly and sits higher on the dash. Both 2.0 versions feature a new phone holder style, utilizing less material, and there's no front brace which means it doesn't obstruct charging cable access for portrait-mounted phones. The slot mount version slips into a small slit just above the hazard lights button instead of the original design that clipped lower around the center air vents. The slot mount boasts three tabs: one middle wide tab and two outer narrow ones (check out the photo). All you have to do is bend them in opposite directions to create a leaf spring. I managed this by applying some heat with a lighter and then bending them. I've also included a version of each that doesn't require screws to attach the phone mount side to the car mount side; instead, it relies on a secure bond between glue. This design is heavily inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:271943, but mine offers improved attachment and detachment as I don't want it stuck there all the time – only during long trips. It's also more discreetly positioned, with a different connection design for the phone to vent mount.
