The Lexus GX 460 is a very large SUV with a great looking exterior and a boxy exterior shape.  Like most large SUVs, this is an easy one to find good mount options.

Lexus GX 460 Mount Discussion It’s a big SUV and most of the usual locations are fully accessible.  Windshield is nice and wide but it is a bit of a reach.  The vents are horizontal and in a perfect location for a phone.  The dash is huge and is … Read more

Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts for a Mitsubishi Outlander

The Mitsubishi Outlander is the company’s compact SUV entry.  Nice SUV with lots of mount possibilities.  Let’s review what we found out. It’s a nicely sized SUV for a compact.  The usual locations seem to be fully accessible.  Windshield is nice and wide and not too far of a reach for the driver.  The vents are horizontal and located near the top of the dash so most mounts should work fine.  The dash has a nice flat spot near the front lip so that’s a good location too.  There is no CD Player.  The cup holders aren’t the worst location, … Read more

Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts

Lexus NX 300 Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts

The Lexus NX 300 is a compact SUV that has a few mounting challenges.  The compact size presents some issues.  Let’s look at some of what works well and does not work well. We previously looked at a Lexus RX 350.  That’s one of the easiest vehicles we have seen for mounting a phone, tablet or GPS.  This is not as easy.

The Lexus NX 300 has an easy to reach windshield … Read more

Phone and GPS Mounts for the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has a nice looking interior.  Lots of leather, curved surfaces and chrome.  And there’s a big giant display screen in the middle of the dash.  We’re going to look at the best mounting locations for this vehicle. Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Analysis Our usual photo of the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 interior accompanies this article.  It’s almost like Mercedes design engineers try to make it impossible to mount a device.  We previously reviewed Mercedes-Benz C450 and just like that vehicle, finding good mounts for this SUV isn’t going to be easy.

Volvo XC40 Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts

The Volvo XC40 is not your typical Volvo.  It’s got some radical styling that I’m used to seeing in brands like Nissan and Hyundai.  It’s a very compact SUV and falls into the sub-compact space.  Mount choices are going to be limited. We previously looked at the Volvo XC90.  A much larger SUV and if you like the brand, have some extra money and need extra room, that’s another choice to consider (and spoiler alert, you can mount more stuff in to the XC90). Volvo XC40 Mount Analysis Our usual photo of the interior accompanies this article.  The windshield is … Read more
