My buddy has a strong magnet one on the dash in his 64 GTO,
I might get one myself for occasional use.

I'm not sure of the brand though.

something like this https://www.amazon.com/ClutchIt-Original-Magnetic-Movable-Holder/dp/B06XSY13CC?th=1

 

Hi!
I don't have a console in my camaro so the smart phone is behind the front seat on the floor with my sun glasses.
Mostly it is just fine driving the car on well known roads and I don't need navigation.

But sometimes navigation gets useful... and then I need the smartphone but have no place to fix it.

I am wondering about a removable system or at least discreet.
I am thinking the lighter is well placed and can be used as a support :

Amazon.com

However this will not be easily removed from the lighter and so it will be ugly when I don't need it.

What options do you guys use?

Thanks,

Marc

No console?

 

I got one that attaches to the rear view mirror. I don't recall where I got it, probably Best Buy or Walmart but I see them online. It clips around the rear view mirror and the phone is held below the mirror. It is pretty easy to put on and take off.

 

I had one like this in my old truck (no navigation) and even used a few times in the Camaro.

 

This the one I have available for all my vehicles: 68 Camaro, 66 Corvairs (2), 2018 Silverado Z71, & 2020 Malibu RS Turbo. I mount it low, so it it not in any major vision viewing area. I take it down after each trip and bag it to keep rubber out of the sunlight.

$9.97 + tax & shipping if applicable.

Boy are we spoiled! No place for the phone, cups, roll up windows, reach out to adjust the mirror, pull the knob to adjust the seat, push the lock button down or use the key, to open the trunk as well, and then we want to change all that to match our Toyota, not even an USA company, not me all mine have been GM and 2 Fords and 1 Dodge. Keep the profit here. I know I am rambling on as I do and most when you get to be 75. I keep my phone in my pocket!!!!

 

I use this one that is similar to the unit mentioned by Georgia68. I used this in all my cars mounted to the windshield using the suction cup. Pretty easy to remove. Also comes with a stick on pad which I have not used. I have been pretty happy with it. This particular version came with two units per package.

I use a suction cup type also, I stick it next to my ashtray in the 69'.
I have it so I can use the GPS on the phone going to car shows or meeting friends that I need directions for.

 

I like the idea of the suction cup stuck to the ashtray. My CDO (same thing as OCD, except in alphabetical order) would drive me crazy with a windshield mounted suction cup.

 

I normally just listen for the audio prompts for turn by turn in any of my vehicles, don't really look at the screen much and if I need to I'll just pick it up to look, pulling over if I feel the need for safety due to traffic or the road.

 

That's a good way to do it if you can hear it over the exhaust and wind noise....I have to look at the screen sometimes 😁

it work well

 

Hi guys, thanks for all replies !
I considered quite a lot of options, I also checked the magnetic spots as there is a lot of steel areas in our old camaros.

I like the idea of the double magnet holder best. That idea came from ilikeike... sorry I don't know your name
I found one cheap (China). I'll check it.
If it does not work I'll try a suction cup.

MRcool nice interior you have!
Our of the topic but :
What is that inner A-pillar shiny molding you have?

Hey Marc its Z23 interior option as ridesdirt said





one of many options this car has. I had them re chromed they came out real good

 

I like the magnet idea too, looking in to that.

and now the derail... I second @Marc post, very nice interior!

67 interior option Z23 (if I remember correctly) had chrome a-pillar covers... "it's a 67 thing" so is the N30 steering wheel! pretty rare I believe. And the deluxe bench seat, I have never seen one in person.

Nicely optioned car you have @MRCOOL_RSSS350 , very nice!

 

Thanks, appreciate your eye for detail, learning all the time, more info to know when looking at other people's Camaro

 

Just very nice!
I like it!

 

I have an iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra. When I do navigation it transfers to the watch. The watch when a turns are coming gives a physical vibration notification and also displays the directions on the watch face, showing the street name and direction to turn. It’s just a quick glance that’s required and works very well. I also listen to phones audio prompts but I cannot always hear them because the car is pretty loud.

 

I use my cell phone as a dash cam, so I made a mount to stick the lens just above the dash. I made it removable with no permanent attachments to the dash pad.

Not for everyone, but works for me.
