Recommendations for iphone holders that clip onto the air vents?

Hey guys,

Did a search for this, but didn't find any good results... Maybe my search capabilities are lacking.

Which iphone 5 holder/clip/adapter that connects directly to the air vents in our M3's with nav do you recommend? (I only bring up the nav system because I notice some clips may block the screen when cradling the phone.

I'm planning on running the lightning adapter cable directly to the holder, and I don't know how flimsy they are when using the air vents for support.

Any experience with these? I'd like to buy one ASAP so I don't fumble with my phone when switching songs on Slacker Radio.

Thanks!!

I would suggest DIY'ing it. So many good, easy, and pretty solutions out there. I know Lifehacker has one with binder clips. There's got to be a hundred others too

I came across this one, no drilling is required right? Does it stay securely attached to the vents when driving hard?

Thanks!

No holes, comes off with out any marks, installs easy, very solid... Solid enough for the track, offroading, and on the city streets...

I have it in all my cars with the Proclip dock mount for the iPhone 5

In my x5, I use the Breffo-Spiderpodium.

In my M3, i use a mountek which i think is far superior (slides into the CD slot)

pretty easy decision to me....mountek won't block your vents and can hold almost any type of phone regardless of shape, size, with case, with bumper, etc....
