    What cell phone holder do you guys/gals use and where you put it? Prime 11" screen occupies a lot of center space to place a cell phone holder. I haven't found one to put my cell phone within acceptable distance. Windshield mount is too far to reach. Air vent mount won't fit. Dashboard mount is blocked by steering wheel.

    I set mine in the tray, despite not using the Qi charger.

    I put my phone in the tray too. However it's hard to read cell phone screen. Prime navigation is different than google map navigation. I get used to google map.

    I use this from Amazon... Works great, still have 2 cup holders, out of the way of all controls, minimal impact to passenger legs (wife never complained)

    I did some serious searching to come up with a cell phone holder that would not block the screen on my 2013 Prius like the CD mounts, or was too far to reach like the windshield mount models. The best option for me is the Macally Adjustable Automobile Cup Holder Mount which I found on Amazon for a mere $12.99. It fits in the front cup holder, is easy to access, doesn't block anything, and is priced right. Will it last? TBD

    I used a ProClip "Universal Pedestal Mount" (think it was the 6.5" 202010) and appropriate phone holder. The white plate behind the shifting knob pops off pretty easily... once that was removed, there is plenty of space to put a backing plate inside the cavity for more stability. Did have to drill 4 screw holes into the underside of the black housing, so if I ever remove the mount and sell the car the holes will remain... but they are not visible unless you are lying on your back on the floor, and they cause no harm. From there, I routed the iphone cable under the center console and into the USB port.

    We picked up a vent mounted magnetic holder from Amazon that keeps the phone conveniently located and works great.

    I got one that fits in the cup holder. It's not used much, but just in case.

    Mount holds Apple MagSafe charger so phone is recharging wile on dash. Magnets hold phone securely. FWIW, my phone is 14 Pro with Apples MagSafe case.

    the proclip mount is probably useless to anyone with short arms. phone is kinda far away but at least it doesn't block the vents... prime01IMG_4076.JPG

    I’m a full time courier for a pharmacy and use a mini iPad for my gps and route building and an iPhone for the companies patient app. I use ProClip mounts for both. Mini iPad is mounted on right side of the dash next to the Prius 11” screen, and iPhone is mounted to center console. ProClip is a little pricey, but made for your specific car and they work.
