Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts for a Mazda CX-90

Today, we had an opportunity to scope out a big new Mazda CX-90.  This is a large 7-seater SUV with some interesting mount challenges. Mount Analysis Our usual obligatory interior photo accompanies this article.  Nice spacious interior with a few surprises. You may instantly think that with an interior as large as a small house that any mount would work just fine.  That’s not the case.  There were several locations that will not support a mount for a smartphone, GPS or tablet. The windshield is a good location for a phone or GPS.  It’s a bit of a reach, so … Read more



Phone, GPS and Tablet Mounts for a Nissan Sentra

A recent oil change pilgrimage to my local Nissan dealer left some time to check out the showroom.  One of the cars I was able to get a close look at was the Nissan Sentra.  Like practically any model, there are some places that work well for mounting a device and a few that don’t work too well. Mount Analysis As always, a photo of the interior is attached to this article.  There are a few interesting design characteristics.  Round vents.  Usually difficult but we have a plan. The cup holder is one of my favorite places for mounting a tablet … Read more



Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts for a Nissan Rogue

Today, we are going to take a close look at the Nissan Rogue.  It’s one of Nissan’s best sellers and gets great reviews. Mount Analysis The outside looks a bit similar to a Nissan Murano.  However the interior is more conventional.  Perhaps a little more compact.  Certainly not as many bazaar curves and slopes as the Murano.  That’s good news from a mounting perspective.  Lots of different places will work well in a Nissan Rogue but there were a few mounts and holders that simply won’t work.  Especially the cup holders. The cup holder location is set towards the front … Read more



Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts for an Acura RDX

The Acura RDX is a smaller luxury SUV.  It has a very nice interior but isn’t the most mount friendly vehicle.  Today, we will look at some of the best places to mount a phone, tablet or GPS in an Acura RDX. We previously looked at mounts for an Acura MDX.  The RDX is the little brother to the MDX.  We found the MDX to be one of the easier vehicles to mount almost any device.  Not so much on the Acura RDX. We also viewed mounts for the Acura Integra.  Thankfully, the RDX is much easier! A photo of … Read more



Acura Integra Phone and GPS Mounts

The Acura Integra is a nice car but not the easiest to find good mount locations for a phone or GPS.  It’s almost like the engineers got together over lunch and decided to make a concerted effort to make it as hard as possible to mount a device. Hopefully we can figure something out! Mount Analysis As we always do, a photo of the interior is attached to this article.  It’s a fairly complex design. We’ve previously looked at a few other Acura vehicles including the MDX and RDX.  It wasn’t this difficult! A windshield mount will likely work but … Read more



Lexus TX 350 Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts

The Lexus TX 350 was introduced in late 2023.  It’s a very nice, decently large vehicle with a few mounting challenges. We have already analyzed a few Lexus SUVs including the RX 350.  This SUV seems a little larger and the mounting challenges are quite similar. A lot of the decision over a mount for a device will come down to how you plan to use it.  If it’s a phone and a simple matter of connecting it to the infotainment system, and it isn’t too large, there’s a slot cut into the middle console.  Stick the phone in the … Read more
