Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Phone-holder

Hi
What phone-holder suits the CX-models the best?
Any ‘creative solutions’ (à la DaveW. )

I went a slightly different route! My clock in the centre of the dash had a small scratch on the plastic face that bugged me somewhat. I decided to mount my phone there as it also gave some protection from glare cause by driving with the occasional sun here in England with the top down.
(Incidentally, I also added a cheap CarPlay screen from TikTok shop or the like, it was brilliant until the roof was down! Even on a cloudy day, it was impossible to see the screen - the iPhones brightness is so much better and I’ve not had any issues to date. The large clock face is also nice to see when not using maps etc. The phone can be spun to portrait mode too and the screen is more than usable to see any music playlists etc.

So far it’s worked out really well and as on a ball joint, I can angle the phone slightly to give me a clearer view of google maps etc. and still see the rev counter and speedo ok, additionally the speed is also on the digital display directly in front of me too.

Parts used were from Amazon and attached to the clock face using a silicone adhesive. Fanaue make some really good camera/video fixings for the professional market and the quality is superb. 18 months on and it’s still holding firm. Right angled usb connector plugged into one of the available usb a sockets in the passenger footwell, a usb a to usb c cable was then run up and behind the dashboard to the wireless MagSafe charger. This was the big issue for me, as I hate plugging in/unplugging the phone every time I get in or out, MagSafe is so easy and it’s not fallen off yet!

I’ll try and add pics below…

Final Mount, The glove box can be opened even with the phone on the holder :

Might as well toss this in. Not for a CX but might fit the same and would equally work with a telephone. It uses a printed clip that fits snugly around the top dash profile with a little turned brass adapter that fits a 17mm ball thingy I found on ebay. It ‘springs’ on and off and can be slid along the dash to any position.

I recently acquired a Morgan Plus Four, and I tried to conceal a phone mount for it.

I noticed that on the passenger side, under the dashboard, screws held the leather trim in place



So I used the location of one of these screws to adapt a Quad Lock phone mount, the same brand offered as an option on my old Super 3.

I selected the model theoretically designed to fit into motorcycle fork pivots :





Here's the first result, which I need to improve because at the moment the phone is a little too far back :

It's not the cheapest, but the Garmin 'constant power cable' can be configured to provide power for a period after the ignition is off: 10 minutes, 24 hours or always on. The last one of course will steadily drain the battery, but the Garmin shuts off if the voltage drops to 12v.
