Disco 2 Off road capable phone holder

Pappasmurf · Feb 25, 2020

So, I bought a magnetic phone thingy yesterday, the same as I put in the wife BMW. Problem is, it's fine on.road, but the slightest bump and the phone falls off.

What holders are people using? Preferably not a windscreen one, too far away.

Personally mine stays in my pocket, switched off and stays that way most of the time.
I only carry it more or less for emergencies and nearly no one knows the number.
Fu cking things!

Ram mounts are absolutely fantastic. The best out there

I use mine for satnav and music streaming. Very useful.

I think I got the x grip . It's as solid as a rock and takes all sizes of phones

I use Tom tom, if I have to but always carry maps. and play discs, listen to the radio, cassettes or use an MP3 player through a gizmo that uses the tapedeck to play it.
I find it too much of a pain to have to wind the 78 rpm record player up all the time and changing discs is too tricky on the move.

Wifey though uses either her iPhone or her iPad to play stories through her digital radio. She may be 8 yrs older than me but she is a lot more "down with the kids" than I am!

Phone stays in my pocket, disco has a phone kit installed, Sat Nav which I rarely need it but goes on the screen that’s once a year if I do .
My normal car phone kit and Sat Nav are built in factory fit. Simples

I used several including the ones that come with Garmin and TomTom but they all failed eventually. Then I bought this, which comes with a stability mount that supports the weight and holds everything in place. 3 years on and it's still 100%.

Another vote for RAM. For off road use you need to go with the larger diameter ball. Otherwise it will slip.
They can be attached to the windscreen - very large suction disc, but I have a phone mount, a camera mount and a tablet mount all bolted to the upper dash using a RAM mounting rail. On a D2 the area under the little rubber mat fits perfectly.
