Mobile phone holder?

Hi guys and gals,

I'm getting my new Ford Focus 2015 estate delivered on Monday. It's the Zetec version and doesn't come with a touch screen infotainment system that I can use android auto with. 

I need to get a decent phone holder so I can use my phone as a sat Nav.

I know there are a million different types out there but I thought I'd come on here and see if anyone had a particular good one they could recommend? Don't fancy the ones that take up a air vent.

Thanks in advance!

    Best you can get.

    If you are interested I have a mk3 specific mount that clips onto the driver side A pillar and it has a magnetic mounting plate on it.
    You would just need an adhesive metal plate on your phone, readily available on ebay, Amazon or from Halfords
    If this sounds suitable then PM me and we'll discuss.

    It looks like this (without magnetic part added)-

    Hi Stoney871,

    Thanks very much for the offer! I think I'd preffer one that you can move around on the dash or windscreen to be honest.

    Thanks Though!

    I'm actually contemplating one of these from ebay...

    Not sure if this will fit the mk3.5 though.

    WHat you think?
