Phone Mount Location?

Hey all,

I've had my 2010 Yukon for over a year now and I still can't decide where to put my phone mount. I've got the suction cup style which I've put on the dash in previous cars. I just don't really want to this time because it tends to damage the dash. I'm getting close to saying screw it, though, because I just need it mounted. Can anyone share where they put theirs or, even better, show a pic?

I've considered just to the left or right of the hump over the gauge cluster, low on the A-pillar, or even mounting it low with the arm reaching up.

Thanks in advance for the input!

WeatherTech Cupholder works for me.

$9.99 I use this in all of my vehicles. Attaches to your HVAC vent. Simple to attach/use/hide (when not in use). Available at Amazon,

Yeah, I've considered going with a vent clip style. That thing holds on tight, doesn't fall off the vent or drop the phone?

My cup holders are almost always in use. We never go anywhere without drinks (non-alcoholic of course). LOL

Nope. If you firmly place the holder in the vent and then fully insert your phone between the spring-loaded clamp fingers, it will remain secure.

I have this one in my truck and I love it. Its a little lower than some may like but I wanted something clean and simple and out of the way.

I love how clean the ProClip mounts are, but I can't justify $80. Finances are tight and, if I'm completely honest, running without a mount doesn't really suck. My phone fits in the recessed area of the center console cover.

I am in the exact same place. I got it for Christmas otherwise I would be keeping mine in the same center console area lol.

I have a mount that attaches to the windshield & dash so I can see the phone easier while driving for Waze and Torque Pro. I personally like having it as close to my line of sight as possible, without having it obstruct any view out of the windshield... I don't like having to move my head to see the screen.

Although, I might try to find a new one with wireless charging and a better clamp.

@PNW_IT_Guy, I used to drive a 2012 GMC Y-XL for a living
as a livery / chauffeur in NY / NJ / CT / PA / MA from 2013-2017, over 150,000 miles.

Were I you, I'd use a vent clip on the center left vent, placed so it's not in the way of the shifter.
Bought a simple double spring loaded vent clip from a carwash for $4 ($7 now, still worth it).
Some only open one part, you want the one that opens both.
Install it carefully once, don't mess up the part that snugs up with the vent louvres.
It never dropped my phone, even on rough terrain or potholes, held on TIGHT.
Magnetic ones SEEM like a good idea, most won't pass a 'rough terrain or potholes' test.

Willing to pay a bit more?
Buy one of those arm-thingies that attaches with a suction cup to the dash,
and the other end holds the phone, again, close to the left vent in your pic.
Keep the phone close to the DIC's 4 buttons so you can keep eyes on the road.
