Best iPhone 4 car mount for T4R?
Anyone using a car mount for your iPhone, what's your experience been? I'm checking out a few designs and I'd like to know which one is the best.

I find what is supposed to be the ashtray (close to the shifter) is quite adequate for my iPhone 3GS!
Not a fan of specific mounts to a particular phone being that it will be replaced every 2-3 years or so.

Check out proclip.com, I bought my sat radio mount from there. It works and looks good. My iphone sits in the ashtray as well.

If you're looking to use the iPhone while driving then a Ram Mount works really well. I use mine for GPS or the Clinometer when off road and no amount of bumps has knocked it down.

I use a Mountek mount. Its universal to almost any phone. I use it for my HTC EVO with Otterbox Commuter case and it holds all that bulk better than anything else out there that is not a permanent mount.
Even off-roading I can use my HTC EVO for GPS, Clinometer, and music without all the bouncing around of other mounts for the price. Can your iPhone do all that at once?(shameless jab a iphones  )
It does use your CD player as a mount point, but who uses CD's anymore?

I use this Kensington mount. Think I found it on Amazon for $20 roughly.
I also use this little adapter plug in to get a lot better sound than using the headphone port. You can get them in Amazon for $6.99.

if you had a 3rd gen you could use the little cubby under the cig lighter and next to the power outlets. mine has a case and fits there perfectly. avoid overly bumpy roads, though.
