Reddit reviews KSHCZB nGroove CD Slot Mount: Universal Smartphone Car Mount for ALL Apple iPhone, Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Blackberry

So far I've had no problems using these for my nexus. Prior to owning the nexus, the car mount I used for my note 2 so size and weight isn't a problem.

Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount for Cell Phones and GPS Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_HGsPwb6VC3SE0

Here's the best way to handle this. I'm making assumptions that you have a smartphone and the RCA jacks in your car's armrest.

Get the following.

• a wired to bluetooth transmitter
  
• a usb car charge port
  
• 3.5mm to rca jack cable (as short as possible)
  
• a cd player mount for your phone
  
  Take the 3.5->RCA cord and plug the RCA ends into the aux jack inside the armrest. Put the USB charger in the 12v socket that's also in the armrest. Take the bluetooth transmitter plug in the power (with the supplied micro USB to normal USB cord) and plug in the 3.5 end of the RCA cord to the jack on the transmitter.
  
  Once the car is on and the transmitter is powered up, pair your phone to the transmitter per the instructions that came with it. After its paired, put all the wires and the transmitter in the armrest and forget about it. You'll never have to deal with it again unless something goes wrong.
  
  Now take the CD player car mount, and turn it so it's horizontal. Put your phone in it and adjust the sides to make sure it doesn't slide out. Switch your car audio system to AUX and leave it there. The only downside is you can't control the audio from the steering wheel. The only thing you can do is adjust the volume.
  
  Now you have an always updated nav system that has guidance and the ability to listen to all your music via the car stereo. I wouldn't try any other BT transmitter. It's the key to the whole deal and I know that one works. The rest of the stuff is universal and pretty generic. You may have some/most of them already. You can really shop around for the USB charger, RCA cable and CD player mount and get the cost down more. The whole setup should be around $75 or less.
  
  This is by far the most effective, economical way to get what you want. There isn't really a way to update or modernize the stock equipment outside of buying a new car. I'm pretty sure that's by design.
  

Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount for Cell Phones and GPS Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_iOcDwbP314ASD

I just got this one and it works pretty well with the 6P.

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372941064&sr=8-1&keywords=mountek

1600 reviews. 4.5 stars. It usually go on sale for $17 sometimes. But if you need it now, it's a bit pricey at $24

I like the Mountek CD Slot phone holder.

I've used it for a couple of years now, and it hasn't messed up the CD player (I tested it just to make sure, not that I listen to CDs...what am I, your Grandma?).

It fits a Nexus 6 in a case with no problem.

Mountek nGroove Grip. It goes into your CD slot and a little flap opens up to remain there very solidly. It's more stable than a suction cup and the quality is pretty good too. Only downside is you can't listen to CDs while your phone is mounted, but I haven't listened to a CD in almost 2 years.

This solution is not entirely new. I've had one of these mounts for a while. This is the one I have. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G1L52Q?pc_redir=1414054703&robot_redir=1

I do like the price point of this crowdfunded bracket though. If you back the project with $20 you get a bracket. I think that's a fair price.

Btw there's a good chance of this submission to get downvoted because it really doesn't have anything to do with android.

Do you have a CD player? I've used this one for years, but there are a number of cheaper versions now. The only downside to them is they might lose their grip over time and try to spring open, but I opened mine up and solved that by clipping and stretching the spring. Or, they're cheap enough that you could just buy a new one if that happens.

I've been using those cheap air vent holders you can get for something like $3 on aliexpress, it fits all phones and most cars (you need a pretty weird air vent for it to not fit), but recently I found a holder that goes in the CD slot, something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I think I might give this a try because 6P is quite a heavy phone and I'm beginning to see some wear on my air vent.

If you don't use the CD player, I really recommend this:
http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/

It has worked great for me, I use it holding the phone in landscape, is very secure and puts your phone in a place that's easily visible/accessible and doesn't block any vents. The only drawback I think it has is that it partially blocks the Stereo Volume Knob (sits in front of it) but the knob is still pretty easy to get to if you need to, and with voice/steering wheel controls you never really need it anyway.

Here's someone else's thoughts and photos in-car :

It's a CD phone mount

Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount for Cell Phones and GPS Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_NcqlxbECC096F

I got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372127918&sr=8-1&keywords=mount+tek

So I have the HTC one sitting in front of a fan vent, blowing AC during the summer helps keep the phone cool :) Just putting it out there..

I have a 1A charger and the battery charges while on GPS/Streaming bluetooth audio, you have to keep it on battery saver mode if you want the screen on at all times. I usually just disable the screen and rely on the audio navigation, I find google maps voice navigation sufficient for myself but that might be different for others.

I can't speak for its buy it for life quality as I do not own it, but there is this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G1L52Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1373642081&sr=8-5&pi=SL75

I use a Mountek one that fits into the CD slot of a stereo. I've used it on my Nexus 5, the Nexus 6 and a friend uses his with a 2013 Nexus 7.

I have to occasionally tighten things up on it, but I like it overall.

Mountek CD slot mount - http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Slot-Mount-Smartphone/dp/B004G1L52Q

Arkon Tablet Mount - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8ST36

I didn't expect this much interest in it, I'll add more details of the stack up of which pieces to put together in what order.

If it were me, I'd prefer something that I can actually use on or in the car, as opposed to clothing/wallets/accessories.

Off the top of my head:

• New pair of front floor mats (if his are worn)
  
• Rear decklid lip spoiler (eBay - I'd check seller reviews carefully before purchasing)
  
• BMW valve stem caps ($4, found on eBay)
  
• Griots Garage car care kit ($65 on Amazon). I got this as a gift a few years back, one of the best car-related gifts I've been given. I still use the Griots stuff and replace individual items as needed
  
• Mountek smartphone mount ($30 on Amazon) - This is the best mount I've come across. I have an E46 M3 and it fits perfectly in the CD slot, nice and compact and can easily be removed if needed.
  
  Good luck!
  

This is what I use:

LINK

Note: Risk to break into your CD Player (Rare) or just drop

Mountek Ngroove. Pops in the cd slot and extends to lock in tightly. Squeeze the cushioned sides together to grasp the phone, one button release on the back pops it free. I stuck an NFC tag on it so it automatically shuts off wifi, turns on bluetooth, and turns media volume to 100 percent. No problem plugging in a charger either.

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I'm a huge fan of the quality and customizability of Ram X-Grip Mounts, but they are expensive and - since you mentioned you don't want something on top of the dash and all I've ever used are their incredible suction-cup mounts - I won't go as far as to recommend their cupholder mount, but just to look into it, based on my experience with their suction cup products. Remember that with the 6+, you'll probably need the Phablet holder because the Universal Phone holder will be a tight squeeze.

However, I also use this CD-slot mount when travelling through states with laws against suction cup mounts. Bought it because it was cheap, but it's been a solid product and, most importantly, it feels stable when secured in place. If you don't ever use your CD slot, this is a great solution. The only criticism I would have about the Mountek is that the release lever in the back is tough to get to when the phone is mounted, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I couldn't be happier. http://amzn.com/B004G1L52Q

This CD slot mount works far better than you might think, especially in cars without flat dashes. I'm very happy with it and it puts the phone in the perfect location, at the expense of slightly obscuring the stereo. Since all I do on the stereo is volume control for Bluetooth, no big deal. Bonus, no glue/adhesive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q

Edit: The "reachability" on this is really good, vs something far away on top of the dash.

Buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G1L52Q problem fixed. It blocks the view of the OEM stereo head but its totally worth it.

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

I like it more because it actually has support on the bottom, so the phone wouldn't fall out.

If you have a CD slot you don't use

Of course both of us cheap bastards love Meritline. But, also on Amazon Prime at the same price. Just ordered one. THANKS!!

I have this for mine. Works great. I had a smaller one that would droop due to vibrations but this one has an adjustment screw. I wish it could move a bit more but some sanding would fix that

Doesn't get much better than the Mountek CD mount.

I use This one

its a CD slot mount...I haven't used a CD in ages, so I figure I would put the slot to good use.

very secure, the bottom ledge gives me peace of mind. its a 2 handed operation though, which sucks, it also messes with your CD slot..no permanent damage, but I have some "dust flaps" in teh slot that are now folded up and out of the way, so it just looks weird when the mount isn't in there. other than that, it works great, and Love it...they have other options now though that I may look into.

I've had one of these for a few months now:

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

It mounts with a clamp in your CD slot (has not damaged the 3 different slots I've mounted it in) and securely holds your phone. I absolutely love it. It mounts my phone in a good location, I don't use CD's anyway and it's very adjustable.

It's also only $25.

I was looking for the same thing, might have to pull the trigger on this thing:

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I have it as well, [here] (http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-Universal-Smartphone-Blackberry-Motorola/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=pd_cp_cps_3) it is.

Works great in my G35.

Hands down best mount I've used:
http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417459796&sr=8-1&keywords=phone+holder+cd+slot+mountek

I use a mount that fits into the CD slot for my M7. It's solid, easy to access and adjustable for plenty of sized phones. http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415139840&sr=8-1&keywords=car+phone+holder+cd

Does this look about right?

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

https://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I use this one, it's worked fantastically, it fits basically any phone, and as long as the charging port is in the bottom center, it's flawless.

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I know you said air vent, but maybe this CD-mounted one will work? It's adjustable for any size phone. Much better IMO, but I guess if you use CDs regularly it won't work.

I really like the CD slot cell phone holders. Who uses CDs anyway?

Here's an example (there are many other styles available).

I have a 2013 Elantra GT, and I use a CD slot-mounted holder.

https://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I'm not sure of the brand of the one I use, but if it's not the one I linked it's something very similar. Works quite well.

I have this one and it works well.

First off, get this phone mount instead. If you have a phone (which means you have bluetooth and AUX at your disposal), you don't need the CD player. It works wonderfully and makes it feel built-in to the car.

Otherwise, just keep a phone charge cable around.

If you actually want to talk mods, some people have installed backup cameras and integrated radar detectors (that mount to the front of the car), so those would make things better.

My car also has a CD player. It is currently used as a place to mount my mutimedia device that stores literally thousands of times as much music.

Do you have a CD player? I mean, do you have something that you can put this:http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398258702&sr=8-1&keywords=cd+slot+mount on?

If you get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Lerway-Wireless-Power-Charger-Lumia920/dp/B00E9MUNWU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1398258756&sr=8-3&keywords=qi+charger and break it open/glue the guts to the yellow part of the slot mount, you have a pretty sweet QI charger/mount. It seems there arent many options for this, but this worked well for me. I'll try and take some photos today of what I did.

While I don't have a 1520, I just ordered this one: Mountek nGroove. I should have it tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it works.

It spreads over 4" (that's what she said) so you shouldn't have a problem fitting your phone in it (...that's what she said).

It mounts in the cd player or grooves in the dash with zero 3m, so I'm stoked. I hate windshield mounts and I'll be damned if I use any type of tape to mount something in my dash.

I've had a G2 since it was released and have been using the same car mount that I used with my old Galaxy Nexus. It's universal and the best dock I ever purchased. It uses you CD slot on your stereo. No having to stick it to your windshield or dash and worrying about it detaching or anything. One of the best accessories I ever got for a phone.

They also have a newer one that works with a magnet. I never used it, but it gets good reviews. I just prefer the old tried and true original more. Here's the newer one as well:

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q
This is what I use and its pretty awesome.

I use this in my NC...if you have a cd player where the slod is not constantly being used it works great

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407860040&sr=8-2&keywords=mountek

I can't offer any advice on removing the marks left behind, but I can recommend you use something like this to mount your phone there next time.

I use a mount that wedges itself inside the CD player slot

I use this http://amzn.com/B004G1L52Q in my car for my 920. It works great, just make sure you have a spot to put it

Oh, I see. I didn't realize that's the one you were talking about. My phone is mounted on a Mountek Ngrove CD Slot Mount. I kinda wish I had gone with the magnetic version. I may still switch to that. It mounts reasonably firmly into the CD slot and doesn't wobble around too much despite having fairly firmly adjusted Koni shocks. It's a really convenient position for the phone for ease of access and not having to look down much. I have a second windshield mount when I'm using my phone as a GPS.

I have a Subaru Crosstrek and use this for my phone. I have a rapid charger as well since my commute is pretty short.

CD Player phone mount.

Recommended on the fiat forums. Loving it.

I just use a simple attachment that slips into the cd tray, twist a knob to open the bit inside the cd tray and then slap my phone into the hold bracket. Can remove it and install it real fast without any damages.

Edit: Here is the exact one I got

I've been using this one for like a year or more.

It does damage the dust things on the CD player but it still plays CDs. I would recommend one if you don't mind that detail. The placement is perfect for me it's just second nature to put my phone there; I see it as part of the car now like a cup holder.

edit: spelling.

Here is the non-mobile version of that item! (Here)[http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G1L52Q]

I got one o' them CD slot mounts on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a car mount coming in from Mountek. I'll give you a good general thought whether it's worth it or not when I test it tonight/tomorrow morning. A lot of high reviews, so I'll see how it is.

Hey check this out: Cool Thing

I use the Mountek car dock. It had a spring loaded grip and sits right in the slot for a CD player you're probably trying to replace. Only ever fell out when it wasn't used properly.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G1L52Q?cache=85c3d13cb1756205f398088fb291a58b&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&qid=1412217946&sr=8-14#ref=mp_s_a_1_14

I also have this little suction cup thing I got from ThinkGeek, but it really only sticks to glass. They say it works with all phones, but unless you're using an iPhone you need a smooth case.

I use this one in my NC currently:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got this one and it works extremely well with my OnePlus. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just use a cd-player-slot phone holder, since I don't use my CD player at all. You can still listen to CDs, but then you'll have to remove the phone holder anytime you need to remove/insert a CD.
This is one one them, but there are many others. Also, it keeps your phone at good eye level without looking towards the cup holder or without blocking your views out the windshield.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G1L52Q?pc_redir=1409715232&robot_redir=1

Sweet I went ahead and ordered one. I switched to windows phone so I have an android phone I don't use anymore which would be perfect for this. I went ahead and bought this to go along with it to hold my phone. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q
Instead of mounting it in the cd player like it is supposed to, I put it in the upper gap between the head unit and the trim piece. It works out pretty well.

I've always thought that the CD ones were the best. This is the one I use and it works great. Very stable.

I just got this and this and run the phone without turning it's screen off. Gets the job done perfectly, also got a free GPS app that works great (Waze).

I rigged an aux bluetooth module to it and some power cables for when I travel a lot and have rental cars. I'll make a post with some pics later.

It actually fits into your CD slot. Puts the phone where it can be easily seen for GPS, does not leave that 'ring' on your windows or block any of your windows, won't use up a cupholder, and it does not block any airvents. I really like it.

Well I would love a head unit that actually interfaced with my phone. Im hoping Apple and Pioneer will do the new siri and appleTVish head unit that should be in some cars by next year.

I bought this awesome car mount and it works great...who even uses CDs anymore

I got this one from Amazon for my mkvi and it works great with my Samsung Galaxy Note II:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

I wanted one that wouldn't stick to the windshield or sit on the dashboard. No complaints so far and I would recommend it to anyone who owns a large smartphone.

This is the one I've been using for a few years now. Works great!
Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount for Cell Phones and GPS Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UytkybCSJP1FC

I got this one back in September 2015. It's held up pretty well, and it does what it supposed to.
It's weird, I remember searching for a car mount back then and there just was not as much variety when I looked... Of course this was on Amazon.ca so selection is usually pretty limited when compared to the States.

If I were to get a new one, I'd go with one of the Mpow universal mounts because they seem to offer more range of movement compared to the one i currently use (only able angle the phone at 10-15 degrees).

I've gone though a couple mounts before though, due to the ball and socket breaking. Combination of probably over tightening and cold Canadian winters making the plastic brittle.

I'm using this CD mount. Its perfect if you disable the Bixby button, which i haven't.

https://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I've been using this. Works perfectly for me.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_dKWHwbRH1Z1XA

Got a Mountek in 2014. 2 years later and its still working great. http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

Does that mount interfere with the volume and/or power buttons? I'm using the Mountek nGroove, which works well, but I have to be careful where I close the grips, and that's annoying.

I've used this one for a few different phones now. Just tested my new 6p on the way in to work this morning and it works perfectly. My old phones were too fat to fit but the thinness of this phone actually works with this holder.

I have this one and no regrets. It sits in the CD slot and it is magnetic. This one is the strongest I've had and it holds my phone firmly even with an otter box:

Jivo Technology CDX4 Magnetic CD Car Mount


I also recommend this universal non-magnetic mount:

[Mountek nGroove Grip Universal CD Slot Car Mount for Cell Phones and GPS Devices] (http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_api_7Auiyb6D97EQ7)

I've been using this for years without issue, would recommend.

Mountek

Goes into your CD slot and is adjustable for a bunch of different phone sizes.

Yours has the upgraded head unit but I use a a mount inserted into the CD slot. It's pretty much in as perfect location for visibility. Charging kind of sucks since the charging cable's in the way a bit.

You could get a cradle like this that fits into your CD slot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_wX.Cub0DBYB0X

I'm considering buying one of these.

I love this one. I've had mine for a long time and have bought the same one for several family members.

I've used quite a few, usually form amazon, under $20.

I tried finding it but can't seem to locate it, but gizmodo/lifehacker/jalopnik had an article about the best car mounts.

I know this was on that list:

I didn't want to do a windshield mount, and dash mounts usually require adhesive to hold in place. I was looking for something completely reversible, and my research lead me to the CD tray mount. There's a bunch on the market and it took me a while to find one that would fit without obstructing my radio screen, a lot of them have knobs/thumbscrews that stick out of the bottom to tighten the mount. Ended up getting this, lowest profile one I could find. Bonus it came with some basic charger cable management.

Very satisfied customer. Shipping takes a while from korea though.

I had a ProClip in my old Y34 M45.

You can get CD drive holders as well. Much easier, if you have the clearance.

An example is this. Check out the reviews for it.

This the finest phone holder made:

Any phone, rock solid, all day long.

I have 2 of these. Works like a champ. Won't find any better. http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404748088&sr=8-1&keywords=cell+phone+holder+CD+slot

Ah, the CD slot, the perfect place for your cell phone holder.

I enjoy the one I have... I'll have to get the name for you tomorrow though, but for now it is a similar design to this

On mine there is a button on the back which opens the arms, and you just push back and it clicks and your good to go...

Edit : also, I'm super jealous.

This mount has served me well on the past 3 phones I have owned.

I understand wanting it to look 100% professional and all, but why not this? https://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

If you don't use your CD slot (I never do), then you might like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1416079888&sr=8-8&keywords=car+phone+mount

I loved it. Only reason I stopped using it is I got a new car that had navigation built in, so I didn't have a need for the iPhone screen to be visible. (I'm not an Uber driver.)
