E71 Car Mount

A car mount for your E71 is an excellent addition on all counts. Be it you want to use your E71 as a in-car navigation system, or to easily see who is calling you while driving instead of looking all over the place for your phone, it is a must have, unless you don't drive.


There are of course tons of different mounts available for the E71 ranging from suction cup mounts to vent mounts. The good news is that most universal mounts will fit. I got mine from Autobacs. It comes in two parts. One for the mount itself, and one for the cradle. It costs about $8 each. Pretty reasonably priced.


More importantly is the quality, which is pretty good. First, the suction cup mount works like the famous RAM mounts, which is a pressured mount activated by a lever. This ensures that it has a solid firm fit against your car windshield. Once it is on, it will not come off.


Secondly, there are these little knobs for adjusting the mounting angle of the mount and the cradle to ensure you will find an ideal mounting position.

Thirdly, and most importantly, the cradle itself is heavily padded to hold your phone safely in place without the chance of damaging the phone, and reducing vibration. The side arms are adjustable too, so you can find a tight fit for your phone if you like. Releasing the side arms is easily done by pushing a button on top. Beautiful!


If you ask me what is bad about this mount, i will have to say that it is pretty good, but some vibration is still there, but I am being really picky here. For the price, this one is tough to beat.
