I'm finding that the Brodit top bit only just clips into the tiny gap/crevice it's supposed to. As a result the top sticky pad wasn't making contact.

That resulted in the top bit sliding to the left as it's not lined up properly so hindering the top glove box.

The fix has been to file about 3/16" off the left side top section and put 3 layers of 3M so it sticks.

It now seems solid.

I know I'm going to regret this but:

Wouldn't it be easier to just use Android Auto or Apple Car Play?

Unfortunately not for me.

I prefer to play my music rather than listen to radio stations and I have a bespoke bluetooth phone app that reminds me of speed cameras.

My music needs the 'connected' USB slot and the speedcam app performs pseudo phone calls to transmit over the car audio system.

I did ask about performing 3 actions from 1 phone but I assume from the replies that no one knows.

Good answer!

Brodit mount removed, gone back to my DIY mount.

Had my first passenger since fitting the mount and the first thing she did was whack the mount and phone with her bag.

Not surprised because the proclip, angle adjuster and mount made the whole thing stick out quite a long way. I tried removing the angle adjuster but then the top glove box wouldn't open.

It's not a great place for the mount - I'm surprised brodit didn't put it alongside the screen as they did for Corolla:

https://www.brodit.co.uk/brodit/vehicles/Toyota/Corolla/2021/655453.htm

I have to watch passengers getting in so they don't hit it with their knee, but when you are sitting down in the passenger seat it doesn't affect things too much.

I don't use my top glovebox, but have found that I can still open it, but it does rub slightly against the mount.

Does Brodit have something like this one ?

That's a better solution.

However, I don't need my phone so 'in your face' though.

Those mounting positions rarely show the unsightly dangling lead that some, me included, don't like.

I had the same experience !
My previous car had a mount on the RHS of the steering wheel, much more practical.

I'm currently building a new mount to go down by the gearstick. My first attempt was just a quick let's see how this works.

Same design but with slightly different dimensions. May have it finished tomorrow, Thursday.

I'll photo it later but it's basically the same as before but the front bit, that sticks up to hold the proclip, is about an inch higher. Plus I've anchored the foam to a wider 5mm sheet of plastic in more places. I'd previously used 3mm that had a tiny flex.

The basic construction is complete. This is before the nuts have been Dremmel'd down and before the felt trimming.

Countersunk and ready for felt (I'd previously over cut the plastic for another job so had to be joined) :



The side that I'll be attacking with the Dremmel later. The lower nuts are squashed into the foam so will be flush :



Top view :



Measurements, note the new one has an angled top :



The foam and plastic joined with measurements :



..... and I did have some help :



Once it's trimmed and felt applied the mount will be attached and cable hidden from view :



More later when fitted .....
