New C7 owner from C6 - cup & phone holder issue
I was reluctant to give up my C6 but what a difference the C7 is. I love this car. Now after reading 2 days of threads on cup holders and phone holders, I have to find a simple solution. So far the lead is Proclip for phone and stop & flop for cup holder.
The current cup holder makes a nice place for the phone without the divider but then where do you put your drink. I tried the travel buddy on my C6, wife threw it out after she got in the car *LOL*.
Anyone know if the jacking pucks will transfer from C6 to C7?

This may work as a cup holder then use OEM cup holder as phone holder.

Or this one?
I wish I could use magnetic life would be easy but the magnet interferes with Samsung Pay.

Go with the Stop & Flop. Quick installation, and when not in use, close the cover just like you did with the worthless stock "cup holder ". Considering the $$ we spend for all the odds & ends for our C7's, the $40 is a rock solid investment !

I use the pucks I used on my C6 on the C7. the fit is a lot tighter on the C7 and can be difficult to get out. I have the aluminum pucks. I did a very little grinding on the part that goes into the slot eased the tight fit a little.

Beam Electronics Universal Smartphone Car Air Vent Mount Holder
I just purchased the Beam Electronics Universal Smartphone Car Air Vent Mount Holder from Amazon for $15. I like the position where I was able to mount it. It works for me.
The Vette has limited options for mounting the phone, understandably so; after all, it's not a four door sedan. I hope my pics are helpful. Cheers

From your pics, looks like it would really block the A/C flow from that vent ?

I use the proclip and the dual travel buddy cup holder to solve both issues. The proclip holder / mount is a clean and sleek holder that is functional and secure. Doesn't block any vents and doesn't get in the way of other controls. Not sure why your wife doesn’t like the travel buddy but it’s the nicest solution I have found. I use the center console holder for my sunglasses.

I didn't realize there was a cup holder problem with the Vette. I know there are no coat hanger hooks and the third row seating is a bit tight but this is the first I've heard of the cup holder issue.
