I paid $83 for it on sale. Comes with a cable and adapter for your cigarette lighter. Also comes with a couple of little adhesive cable tidy things - which was a nice touch. I use my phone for Android Auto in the car and just had it on a windscreen mount, but sucked that it would always drain my battery and was a pain to get in and out of the mount...plus it impeded my view of the road a bit. This one is great though, as it sits over the stock stereo, which I don't use as I have a double din dvd unit installed in the lower part of the console. So my phone connects to the HU by bluetooth and now sits at the right height in my dash. Win win for me really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or in the pocket under the lid that sits infront of my HU? Cumon Keith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one phone holder that has stood the test of time since 2016 is the samsung generic holder that they have. https://www.samsung.com/au/mobile-accessories/vehicle-dock-v200sa-smartphone-4-5-7-screen/ https://www.jbhifi.com.au/gps-car-audio/car-audio-accessories/samsung/samsung-universal-mobile-vehicle-dock-for-large-handsets/509149/ I got 3 of them at one stage for $36 and have not looked back. I might contemplate that wireless charger one that you listed above, if you think it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really had the car sitting out in the sun on a scorcher of a day yet, but Scosche make decent quality stuff. Just buy a windscreen shade for when you park your car - keeps the car temps down considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
