2010 Prius Cell Phone Installation Kits from ProClip

Vincent · 08-30-2009, 08:11 PM

I know there are other general cell phone kit threads, but ProClip Mounting System - Device Holders and Dashboard Vehicle Mounts have just released three "no drilling needed" vehicle mounts specifically designed for the 2010 Prius (below) that work with their various cell phone holders.

I ordered the console Vehicle Mount 854355 ($29.99) and the iPhone 3Gs Padded Holder 915255 ($39.99). I'm glad I waited; they seem to have come up with a few good looking permanent mounting alternatives.

Looks good; works great.

Took about 2 minutes to install, no holes to drill and does not interfere with the cup holder door.

Hi Vincent!

A quick question, do you get a gps signal with the iPhone 3GS from that location?

^^^ Good question. Bump!

Didn't try the GPS yet (have Navi), but will do tomorrow. Receives excellent 3G signal there for Tuner Internet Radio, Sirius/XM and Public Radio applications.

Ok thanks, would be nice to know. I decided not to get the Navi as I'm quite pleased with the navigation software that's available nowadays for the iPhone. I do have my doubts though as to the phone getting a gps signal down there, but you never know!

Thanks in advance,

Tested the iPhone 3GS Maps Application today with the phone in the console holder and got a strong GPS signal. Also tested the Compas Application with equally good results.

Hope this helps.

Nice! I had my doubts but great to hear that it works.
Judging from the pictures you posted, you've tilted the phone as far as you can, to the left, to get as good a view of the iPhone as possible? How visible is the screen when driving?
Thanks a bunch!

It can actually be tilted another 5 degrees or so toward the driver, but at the loss of being able to open the cup holder door. It's very visible where it is and easy to reach/use.

Alright thanks once again for the info, I actually just placed an order for the same ones you got. Now I'm just gonna wait and see how long it'll take to get them to Helsinki, Finland.
