This came out very nice!

I can see your point. I tend to favor something more in my peripheral line of sight, kind of à la HUD ... Has anybody tried the iOttie Easy One Touch 2, or 3, or 4? What's the consensus?

Old thread yes, but i just went out and checked this on my '99 FRC. My set of eBay molded polyurethane jacking pucks fit perfectly snug in the factory cup holder - maybe a second option would be a hockey puck?

I went with the ProClip. It's easy to install and works well on the C5.

Hope this helps.

I am changing out the OEM radio with a Pioneer - 6.8" Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay™, Bluetooth®, HD Radio™, - Multimedia Digital Media Receiver with Amazon Alexa.

In order for the radio to fit, I ordered a Metra DP-3021B Black Double Din Stereo Dash Kit for 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette.

The cup holder in the dash kit is deep enough to use the WeatherTech CupFone with extension.

Once everything was installed, the WeatherTech CupFone did not work. It tipped over when the holder was extended the full 4"".

I came across this thread searching for C5 phone mount options. I have the ProClip mount for my C7Z and love it, however I had a question regarding their C5 version...

I have a modified DD bezel and even when running the OEM bezel, many owners know that the bezel tends to separate from the dash over time sometimes leaving a gap. Since the C5 ProClip mount connects to the OEM bezel right where this gap exists, does the ProClip make the problem worse or widens the existing gap? Any pics from the passenger side showing the gap between the bezel and the dashboard?

Thanks!

I can take some pics of mine. It doesn't really seem any worse than it usually is - but I'm also not really much of a stickler about that kind of thing. The mount is great, though.

Here’s the gap from the passenger side. I can’t remember how bad it was before the Proclip. Just glad I can’t see it from the drivers seat.

+1 for the ProClip. Have one in my C5 for an iPod. Have one in my Wrangler for an iPhone. Both are custom fit and work perfectly.
