Where to put my phone ?

So I just picked my slightly used 2016 2SS camaro and since it has the apple car play I dont have my phone mounted so that I can see my Waze app for traffic. So my question is where do you guys put your phone ?I cant put in the center console because I have an iphone 7plus .

I plug in the USB cable and leave it in my pocket.

The waze app plays on the screen. You don't need the phone out. I plug mine in to use car play and throw it in a cupholder. If I need to use both holders I put it in the center console.

Dude I did not know this. I also just picked up a 2016 2SS. So I am now going to have to run out to the parking lot after this meeting and check it out.

I am hoping to just put mine in the wireless charger once my X comes in, but for some reason I do not think it is going to stay in that wireless spot while driving.

So how does it stick to the dash? If you had to remove it do you think it will mess up the dash or leave a mark? I like that is seems to actually lock the phone in. I have seen a few that are magnets and I do not see that holding up on hard acceleration. Also I like how you ran the usb cable. I am going to have to look into that slo.

Make sure you have the latest iphone update and latest waze app. I personally use google with satellite view but waze is nice too.

the pop socket holds up under acceleration no problem
and removal is easy and maybe a little cleaner would be needed but nothing permanent

I really thing its the best solution, I still can press the button's behind it and it dosent block anything
ps my phone is a max or same size as a plus
