Ran the cable under the lip on the console and drilled hole into the console compartment side wall, filled with a snap-in hole plug with 1/8" hole to feed wire thru to connect to the USB port.

Works slick.
Okay, so a year later... Saw the Course Motorsports mounts and became intrigued. The Proclip worked fine but I don't care for the phone being way down low and blocking the passenger seat heat/cool button.
And, came out of the "dark ages" upgrading to a new iPhone w/ MagSafe, so didn't need the Lightning charge cradle anymore.

So out with the old, in with the new today!

Course Motorsport mount installed. Had to put a few washers as spacers between the phone mount ball and the stud on the bracket to bring the MagSafe mount farther from the dash as my phone was rubbing the edge of the infotainment center otherwise.


Then routed the MagSafe charger cable behind the infotainment and out under the trim next to the glovebox.


And then along the right side of the console. Used a Battery Tender 12V to USB A adapter. Provides 2A to give reasonable MagSafe charging, not great but will more than keep up with the phone while streaming music and Google amps, etc. This all gets tucked up under the console when the trim is reinstalled.


Powered by the 12V Accy outlet in the console using a splitter adapter


Will see how this works out. Definitely like the new position of the phone.

I like this solution, I don't want to have my phone visible or on a mount and when I need to charge it goes in the cup holder but that gets in the way if we have drinks and it doesn't fit very well with the cord plugged in, this will fix both issues.

Seems like a moot point with Apple CarPlay.

On short rides the phone is in my jacket pocket. Otherwise, it's in a Weathertech cupholder so I can charge it. Either way, i don't need to see the phone screen.

After 4 years of my phone flying around whenever having a little fun, I finally followed arpad_m's lead and got the same holders... Just like he did, I removed all the crappy double sided tape they put on them and added 100% coverage of some good velcro hooks with really good adhesive on the back...



Once they are in, they really look EOM... and they hold on tight...



About $15 total including a huge roll of Velcro...

The holders ($7.19 with a discount code for 10% off):

The velcro I bought (the adhesive seems really strong) ($7.59 and I have a bunch left):
