That's pretty good.

What are you using for adhesive? I've not been able to get anything to stick to the soft rubber / plastic of the dash.

I used SCOSCHE Magnetic Mount. Works very well!
A bit pricey but worth it IMO. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBAVFI6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just turned my head to the left......

Not sure how to rotate the picture. It has the proper direction on my computer.

I bought one of these "stick on" mounts. I see where you mounted it but I am concerned with it sticking to the pebbly soft dash. There is room to mount it on the left side of the nav screen without blocking any items on the screen. Seems like it should stick easier to the smooth surface. Has anybody tried that or have any thoughts on the matter?

I have one on the left and one on the right side of the nav screen. The one on the left is fine, but it does make it hard to press the side (soft) buttons. I tend to use the right one unless I have someone in the passenger seat. I use this one:

I used to use this one in my Accord. Instead of in the CD player though, I had mounted it in the horizontal vent. Always worked perfectly for me and never fell out or anything, but it did block a little bit of airflow and over a couple years, left a slight deflection in one of the louvers. Not sure yet if I'll try it in the CR-V since I'm still messing with the Apple Car Play and leaving the phone below the console.

I am also using a magnet mount on the screen. Since I did not want to use a piece of metal on or in my case I bought a thingie (scientific name) that holds my phone and attaches to magnet.

I just got a vent mount and am playing around with the left/right position for it. How do you guys run your charge cable from it though? Down the left side of the info screen and into the charge port in the center console? Wrap around the top and to the left side into the console or 12v charge port? Just curious...preferably all of the buttons and icons on the info screen are accessible too. Thanks.

Could you tell me what the "thingy" is or what brand so I can google it? I like that idea of not sticking the magnet to the phone.

Amazon orders history show this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I0V1N42/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

[pioter]

Can you please send a photo with side view onto the mount, where is sticks to the dash surface? And also the picture with phone attached. Thank you

By accident I found that my Motorola Android will fit perfectly on my Garmin GPS mount, who would have thunk it!!!!

I too do not like the idea of blocking the vent with a mount. On ProClips's site they have universal console mounts. Has anyone installed one yet, and if so, which part # did you use?

 

[stuman74]

Anyone try this one from iOttie with the vent?

I'm still looking for a decent mount for somewhere between the steering wheel and center console. Don't really want to pay $70 for a ProClip solution.

 

[srlnclt]

I just put mine in the slider in the center console. Fits perfect.

 

[pookh007]

I'm wondering if you want to take it off later how you are going to do so?

 

[aapocketz]

I 3D printed my own! Works flawlessly.

I've been using an iOttie Easy One Touch 3 (V2.0) Car Mount mounted to the windshield in the lower left corner. I've seen people say they don't trust suction cups... That sucker sticks pretty damn well without suction - a function of the material rather than adhesive; you need to pry a credit card under it to get it loose! The clamping action just serves to pull it tight and make the mounting interface firm.

 

[Antedil]

The slider in the center console - good place to rest it while it plugs in for Android Auto/Apple Carplay...

 

[boooey]

I wanted something with a small footprint that was also easily removable, and doesn't block any vents, which really limits options.
I ended up going with this Scosche magnet mount. Can mount to dash or windshield. Right now i have it in the corner of with windshield which is mostly out of the way.

I think the proclip solution is awful for the CRV.

Wouldn't the plastic molding right below the "Brake Hold" button be an ideal location for an adhesive-backed mount? Seems flat enough and large enough for one, no?
