iPhone car mount for 1 series

jermzkill · 11-19-2011, 03:59 PM

anyone know of any iPhone/Phone mount for the 1 series? I don't have gps in my car, I just use the one on my iPhone. I found this post about the Kuda mount (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=576448), but it sounded like there were issues with the mount.

Anyone using a phone mount? Recommendations, pics, etc?

I have this sky dock - the original purpose is to get satellite radio via the iphone but I use it to hold and charge my iphone. Plus if you wish it has an integrated FM transmitter.

I use the bmw auxiliary connector plugged into the headphone jack on the iPhone.

Check this out, I joined in on it. I hope it mounts to the trim pieces.

Nice I pledged $25 for the black one...How does Kickstarter work? When does the item start getting manufactured and sent out?

That's what I am curious about as well, but the design of it is so clean that I decided to go for it without checking in on those details as well. I dont think the wait should be too long after the project gets funded. Especially with the amount of money/people backing the project.

Get the TomTom Mount.

Why not use the BMW Station for Apple iPhone, looks better in your 1 series than it does in the 3 but it still looks and works great.

I like the TomTom mount but I like having my iPhone in a case more. That's the problem with these very specific mounts - they assume you are going to keep your iPhone naked.

Photo of 135i installation?

Tom303 · 11-25-2011, 08:14 PM

The bracket is design for your car. For the 135, I got the vent bracket. They provide a small wedge type molding tool that lifts the vent from just enough for the bracket to slide between the dash and the vent. It takes less than a minute to install the bracket. Then you screw in the phone holder to the bracket. I removed this when I sold my 135 and no marks was left behind.

Tom303 · 11-25-2011, 09:00 PM

Here is a photo in my 1M which looks the same as in the 135.

mbintx · 11-25-2011, 09:40 PM

Looks good. I'm looking for a lower mounting spot, though. I want to attach it to the center. Console somehow.

I used the side cup holder.
