Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts for a Toyota Highlander

While walking around my local Toyota showroom, I had the opportunity to check out the Toyota Highlander.  Nice SUV with lots of mount possibilities.  Let’s review what I discovered. It’s a nicely sized SUV.  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 so most mounts should work fine.  A bit of raised dash makes this area difficult as the clearance between the dash and windshield might prove to be too short.  There is a CD player which might work fine.  The … 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.

Phone, Tablet and GPS Mounts for a Jaguar E-PACE

The Jaguar E-PACE is a compact sized SUV.  Surprisingly, there is a lot of space in the front seat.  So much space, that we can actually recommend a mount for a tablet. This isn’t the first Jaguar we have looked at.  We previously took a look at the Jaguar I-PACE.  This SUV has many interior similarities to the I-PACE. A photo of the Jaguar E-PACE interior accompanies this article.  Windshield is going to work quite well.  Normal horizontal vents in the middle of the dash always translates to a good mounting location.  The dash has a flat location above the … Read more

Phone and GPS Mounts for a Jaguar I-PACE

Jaguar has entered the battery operated market with the I-PACE.  The Jaguar I-PACE is a luxury car with a lot of refined interior features (and a fairly expensive price). This isn’t the first electric vehicle we have looked at.  We previously took a look at the Tesla Model X and Tesla Model S.  Unlike the Tesla models, the Jaguar I-PACE doesn’t have a TV sized monitor in the middle so finding a few good mount locations is a bit easier. A photo of the Jaguar I-PACE interior accompanies this article.  It’s a little further reach to the windshield so an … Read more

Phone and GPS Mounts for a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

This week, I had the opportunity to drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.  It’s a bit cramped and there’s an unusually shaped dash but we were able to find some good spots for mounting a phone or GPS. Due to the compact design of this vehicle, tablet mounts aren’t applicable.  The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is simply too compact to find a good spot for anything larger than a smartphone or GPS. A photo of the interior of a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross accompanies this article.  It’s a normal reach to the windshield so most suction mounts will work well.  Normal horizontal vents … Read more
