Where do you put your cell phone?
I've had my C6 since May and cannot figure out a good place to put my cell phone when I want to run the ponies. It doesn't fit in the cup holder, air vent holders blocks the vent and the stereo, window mounted holder blocks my view, only other places are on the Pax seat or in the center console container? The best idea I've come up with is a Ram Mount X Grip suctioned to the center console. Any other ideas out there?
Yes, I'm a dork for having a Corvette logo on my cell phone.

When I am driving the Vette I could care less about the cell. If on trip and traffic or map infor is needed I have the wife use hers.
Being an retired driver I got used to the map books. So prior to any leg of a trip I have the route in my head. already for the most part. Passing through cities can be iffy and thats when my co pilot enters the fray.
I have never used GPS for directions, just old school I guess.
Wife uses it to find Starbucks when starting out in the morning.

$12.00 at Pep Boys. Mounts anywhere on your car. Thin magnet on the back of your phone. Very secure. Does not allow phone to move at all. I have them in all of my cars.

What brand is it? We don't have Pep Boys here.

I have the additional dual cupholder that goes on the passenger side of the console with a Bracketron cup holder phone holder. The base expands to fit tightly in the cup holder. Works grest, plus give me a deep cupholder in addition to shallow ones next to shifter.

[QUOTE=BamBamAF91;1593926295]Type in " magnetic cell phone holder" on Amazon and you'll find this one and tons of others. I've used this type on everything I've had for years and they've worked well, even with larger phones like my current iPhone 6S Plus. I just tape the metal plate to the inside of the case so is easily removed if you change cases.

Mine sits in my purse. The center console is too freaking hot to put it there.

I usually put my smart phone in the console box. And when I want to listen to my tunes, I Bluetooth it with this.
But if I want to display my phone such as using the map feature or yell at it, I use a CD mount with a ball and socket joint. The CD mount is much sturdier than the others.
I probably have $20 in the whole set up and keep my radio rig all stock. Saved me $500 minimum and all the hassle of non OEM radio.

I toss it in the aftermarket cupholder.
