Smart phone holder
I was wondering if anyone managed to source a decent phone holder that can be fitted next to the pivi pro screen on the driver side?

The only option so far is to use an air vent mount holder. 3.0L MHVE D200 S Pangea Green+Black Pack

They've got a nice solution. Bought one for my HSE.

Not sure if they ship international...

One would have thought that a handgun mount should be a standard factory option.... Whistle Ride like you stole it!!

I’ve used one of these.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T0I...&psc=1

It’s magnetic and requires a metal disk stuck into the back of your phone. I have mounted as shown on these photos using the supplied adhesive pad. Not sure what it would be like holding a heavy phone when driving in a serious off road environment.

I have both the mounts that Brodit supply https://www.brodit.co.uk/brodit/vehicles/L...?steer=rhd

I have one either side of the pivi pro screen but don't use them as phone holders so only have the basic bracket. If you aren't familiar with the Brodit mounts you buy the mount and then a specific phone holder for your model of phone

This is how I use one of mine as I always have my phone either in my pocket or on the wireless charger

I have an Auckly universal wireless charging mount which works superbly (available on Amazon UK). The side grips close automatically when you place a phone on the cradle and open with the press of a discreet button on the side of the mount.

It comes with a suction cup mount which works on the metal facia, Ive been on some rough terrain with the phone in the holder and it has stayed securely in place. So no need for an additional customised defender mount.

I'd recommend Defender3D (https://defender3d.co.uk. Tim does a range of excellent mounts for phones, tablets and more. I've got the iPad mount but the basic attachment to the dash is the same and you can chose whereabouts you locate the mount.

(Mine's an older version but the pic gives you the idea).

I also have the BRODIT holder. Works fine with phone specific clamps. The one I have works great with iPhone plus protection case. The clamp holds the phone really strong. I connect my iPhone via cable so it gets charged when driving plus I can check the iPhone screen for popup messages Whistle

You see the mount next to the big Pivi screen. It is setup for my iPhone 12 Pro, but works also with my iPhone SE and even my iPhone 13 mini.

The holder is New Defender version.

A bit of a missed design feature the lack of anywhere logical to stash your mobile on the dash, also if you have the centre seat the plastic try they put on isnt even big enough to pop a phone into /facepalm, with an ounce of thought that spot could have had an NFC charger 3 Landrovers

Looks like Brodit has re-designed their backing plate that fits into the dash since I bought mine which is dead fiddly and needs a special tool to lever it in between the PiviPro screen and the grab handle along the top of the dash.
I have Tim’s original IPad Pro 11” holder and he has since redesigned it to hold the iPad more securely when off-road. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Mine is velcroed onto the underside of the cup holders, hopefully you can see in these photos

Using this one:

Fits literally everywhere on the dashboard bar, mine is mounted directly besides Pivi Screen.
