Atom 2 iPhone mount?
« on: April 25, 2012, 03:35:12 PM BST »
As the title says, I'm looking for a way to mount my iPhone on the dash so I can use the GPS.

Does anyone have a model that they can recommend? I was hoping to find one that doesn't require drilling but would be willing to drill a few holes if thats what's needed for a clean installation.

Thanks!

I use a ram mount. It's fantastic, with no wobble at all.

Here's a pic of mine mounted;

Is not cheap stuff, but it's real quality. Have a look round the website to find the most cost affective way of getting the bits you need, as some of the prices re really quite bizarre.

I'll post photos of my solution tomorrow...

It's not perfect, but it works for me

I use the RAM mounts too - but use the bits that came with the Tom Tom rider to bolt the 1 inch ball under the front plastic front tray. There is a mounting tab and holes if you take that off. Will try and take photos to show later.
