The best Taycan phone mounting solution I could find

[Gino]

For an aftermarket product, this is quite nice! But I doubt Porsche would have considered this positioning as the phone blocks direct access to the lowest buttons on the middle screen … and blocks their Taycan logo! ?

Very good points! The sin would be to block the logo!

I think it's just the angle of the picture that I grabbed from their website. You can see in the other pictures that the buttons are accessible. But, yeah, the Taycan logo is covered.

remember this is the same Porsche who created the god awful centre console lid opening!

That's an interesting option for lefties. I will try that also.

I 3d printed this attachment and put a mighty magnet on it. Works great. Same concept as proclip

Found the 3D design in a different post

I like the concept of the clip but if it’s strong enough to stay firmly attached with a phone connected, then it’s likely strong enough to crease the leather….?

Exactfit and rennline mount are the best.

Thanks for sharing, considering this. Does it block screens or anything if you attach it to the middle vent?

I know there are plenty of people who have the “leave your phone in your pocket/purse while driving” philosophy and there are also plenty of people who believe “I want to mount my phone within view and charge it”. This post is for the second community of people.

I have gone through several types of car mounts for my iPhone 15 Pro (6.1” screen). I was trying to avoid the following in a phone mounting system:

• 3M adhesive,
• mounting on the leather center console,
• using a suction cup on the windshield or other screens,
• obstruction of *ANY* part of my view out the windows,
• the awkward mounts that attach to the rearview mirror.

So, I decided to find a mount that would attach to the vent that is located left of the steering wheel (US model). I went through 7 versions of these mounts and finally found ONE design that I liked and find to be rock solid. As you can see from the photos (sorry about some of the blurry photos!), it has a “tripod” base that allows it to extend beyond the vent, but still fits nicely within the confines of the glossy finish. As a bonus, it sticks out far enough so that my phone does not hit the black leather dash that overhangs it and I can angle my iPhone perfectly for me in the driver’s seat.

Since this base has a “standard” ball mount, you could attach whatever magnetic (or cradle) phone mount you already have. It works really well and I recommend it!

Here is a link to the base with a non-charging magnetic mount: https://amzn.to/4eGh884 (I got this and used my own phone mount)
And this is a link to the base with a MagSafe charging mount: https://amzn.to/3U9CLph

And as for wiring the mount, I would recommend following the path outlined in this post: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/my-3d-printed-taycan-phone-holder.6478/post-328766

I know this is an older thread but I just wanted to say “Thanks!” This mount works great, was super easy to install/remove (literally takes seconds) and it’s like $16 so not much invested if I want something different later. Plus it does zero damage and is easy to see and reach.

Really checks all the boxes for me!
