One of the guys in our club just uses the suction cup dealiebob on the windshield.

Tom Endy had a neat idea for a GPS:

My wife has hers glued to her hand and plugged into a USB port that I fastened under the gas tank with Velcro.

get a cheap clip off ebay or amazon and glue a few of those rare earth maginets to it and stick it to the dash.

or yea the universal windshield suction cup mounts would work great.

I have a built in nagagator in the passenger seat. It is in charge of the cell phone and directions.

Thanks for the idea, I will perpose this as a design problem to my students and see what type of devices they can come up with. We have a 3d printer and I will print the winning idea and post photos. Unfortunately, school is almost over and this will be an early fall project.

Suction cup. iPhone has GPS navigation, speedometer, mileage tracking, and more. No need to wire in accessories

I use a Rokform case that has a magnet in it. It's behind a piece of rubber on the case and doesn't scratch the paint. I use this magnet for the phone in the car, and I put it on gym equipment when I'm at the gym. Works like a charm.

You can ask Siri for an app to count the rust flakes in the tank that are attracted to the magnet. Hands free.

I use Ram Mounts for everything. I remove one of the existing bolts on the dash rail and screw in a ram mount "ball", then I can hang a cup holder, iPhone mount, etc. without messing anything up.

See if your case has a clip that can mount onto the inside door check strap, works great on my Phaeton.....
