One of the guys on the Facebook forum has come up with this and rates it highly.

For me that'd be to low to use/see properly, a bit like when Sat Nav displays where set in the dash rather than raised. I've got a long swan neck/windscreen suction type that was £8, it allows my phone to sit perfectly between the display & dash pod.

I have used Brodit Proclips in my last few cars and have found them to be reliable and easy to install. There is a CX-5 KF RHD specific Proclip available and this is what I have installed in my CX-5. To actually attach a phone to the Proclip, I used a Herbert Richter iGrip universal mount.

I've got the Brodit proclip in my CX5 holding a TomTom Go 520. They are not cheap but are easy to fit and provide a solid mount. I've been looking at the Brodit mount for my phone as a future replacement. How does the Herbert Richter holder attach to the Proclip?

Been using Brodit for about 15 years now, have that one in the current CX5 with the Brodit S8 phone holder. Was a bit disappointed that they decided not to make an A pillar mount as they had for the previous two models, though. Much prefer having the phone in that position.

Does the A pillar not have an airbag in it?

The holder attaches to the Proclip with a couple of screws which were included with the mount. I think the mount also included double sided tape, but I didn't want the holder and phone falling off so I decided to use the screws for peace of mind.

It does. The attachment clips over the front and back of the trim (under the door seal) fairly low, just above the tweeter. If the airbag goes, the holder goes with the cover is my understanding.

Thanks for the info. I'll get one ordered.
