    The beautiful dash on my new mini won't hold any generic cradles for my iphone.I need it desperately to view my GPS on my iphone.

    Look at RAM mounts--they have a number of different options, all high quality--many of us use them on the track for recording video/data through our phones.

    You could also check out Craven Speed, look under the sponsor tab.

    I've been using the Kenu Airframe mount for a while now (not in a MINI, so can't speak for fitment there). I love it because it will hold my iPhone or my Garmin. It is also nice to be able to pop it off and put it in my wife's car if needed.

    That seems like a nice mount. May have to buy one of those.

    Craven speed makes some nice units if you want it near your tachometer....
    In many cars, if you don't use your CD player, CD mounts the hold your phone work great...not fancy, but I used one for a bit...was a Amazon unit, for about $10....not directly in my line of sight, but good enough for how I used my phone. Kept the wires to a minimum since I could charge it from the cigarette lighter plug....
    I have a similar one...Amazon.com: Anker CD Slot Mount Car Mount Phone Holder for iPhone, iPod, Samsung, LG, Nexus, HTC, Motorola, Sony and Other Smartphones and MP3 Players (Black): Cell Phones & Accessories

    Thanks. Checking on it was an intro to the scissor concept. Neat!

    Bingo! I think this is it! I like also that it is not invasive.
    Thank you.

    My current mount won't fit the Mini.
    It's kinda' unique.
    Thanks for the reply!
