Default where do u put your phone?

Just picked up a new focus sport. Great car so far but can't seem to find a spot for my phone except in the door pocket. Any secret spot I should know about?

If you mean one of the 6 inch Sony models so do I and there's no logical spot I could find.

My previous phone sat flat in the base of the door pocket, this beast doesn't. Glovebox if there's room (I don't have room). Most of the time it doesn't bother me because it is in a backpack or jacket pocket in the load area, but it's an issue if not carrying either of these or if you want to hook up to the audio system.

I have a Sony Z1. No issues in my pocket here unless you have one of those enormous phones.

you can but stuff that sticks to the dash curved flat or other wise and will hold your phone, sorry i don`t know details , but i have seen them,

for myself i bought a phone holder for my particular big phone that sticks to the windscreen, very handy when using it for gps.

Try the compartment in the right hand side of the dash just under the head light switches. Looks like the fuse box cover but its actually a storage compartment. I keep my phone in my pocket anyway. No need to have it out. SYNC shows your phone reception and battery power on the main screen now and it even reads your text messages out for you.

I've got an iottie holder that's attached to the passenger side of the center console.

Nice and easy access and being its not a permanent mount it doesn't leave marks on the plastic.

I have mine I'm the cup holders as I usually charge the phone in the car, but you're right, there's no real good spot to put the phone.

At least in the mondeo I have a little ledge in front of the gear lever that the phone sits comfortably on.
