Union Jack Red Smartphone Cell Phone Mount Holder For R55 R56 R57 CLUBMAN Convertible Coupe 2006-2015

This is perfect for my mini 2012 model. I tried 3 different types of phone holders to no avail. So because of the dash and instruments of these cars, great as they look, they are absolutely rubbish for sticking anything to them with stickers or suction type stands, or if you do the glass windscreen it’s in the line of vision and it’s not suitable, or the type that fit down in the cup holder just get in the way of the controls. You can forget getting one for the air vents that doesn’t work either. After those fails I almost have up but decided to try and research. I saw these and I was sceptical but god am I pleased. Easy to install (you need one of those star type screwdrivers for the first stage- see images). The screws the little screwdriver all work perfectly. This is genius you won’t be disappointed. Clasp fits with my iPhone too. Delivery was quicker than exepected as well so all good.

This is a great idea. Instead of the usual suction / glue/ ventilation flap mounting compromises, the idea is that you remove some of the screws holding the speedo dial housing together, and replace them with the slightly longer screws supplied to hold the arm firmly in place. The arm is really solid metal and holds the phone at just the right spot, although you can change the angle and tilt. However, the fitting instructions are hopeless. The speedo screws are at the rear of the housing and are hard to get access to or even see. The idea is that you remove two further screws to lift the speedo mounting free of the steering column. However the supplied tool does not fit these screws and in any case there is hardly any room. It was easier to use a small mirror to give sight of the speedo mounting screws - see the photo - and if you move the steering wheel back as far as it will go there is just enough room to undo them. The replacement screws are just the right length to keep the speedo housing in one piece and hold the mounting arm. I only bothered using two screws for mounting as this is good enough for a firm fitting and also avoids any risks about not being able to put the speedo back together if all screws were removed.

So I spent a long time researching this product as it turns out mounting a phone stand to my R56 Mini Cooper S is easier said than done (texture of dash means suction cups don’t work), however my one main gripe was that I am left handed in a right hand drive car so really preferred to have the phone in the middle of the car instead of by the door like it says on the instructions. Eventually I gave up and just bought this (the rhd version) so that I could at least mount my phone in the car and assumed I’d just have to learn to use it with my right hand. It arrived, complete with box label saying it was for rhd cars, yet appeared to mount to the left instead of the right of the wheel as I was expecting. Others have mentioned mounting the bracket towards the centre doesn’t work as the phone hits the air con but not an issue for me at all and now, quite by accident, I’ve gotten the setup exactly the way around I wanted. I’m not sure if it’s because they managed to send me the wrong item inside or they have since changed the product so it holds the phone in the centre instead, but hey I’m happy! Couple of small issues to note - my car is 13 years old and the first screws you need to remove clearly haven’t been touched since leaving the factory line hence were impossible to do. You can do it without undoing the first screws but be warned it’s properly fiddly to do and took me a good 40 mins this way. Also the metal stand does accentuate vibration from the idling in my Cooper S so that the phone does jiggle a fair bit, but there’s not a lot that can be done about this.

Lasted a year and fell to pieces. Now i have an annoying piece that sticks out. Not worth the money or effort as it was not easy to install and I had to get someone to install it. Bought a CD phone holder that’s doing the job much better.

Great mobile phone holder, especially since once it's fitted there's no hunting for it or having to clean off suction marks .. Only downfall I found was removing the screws and replacing them for the longer ones supplied, I have chunky hands so found this rather fiddly , but I persevered and it's now in place and looks great..

Very happy with this, nice little phone holder. Feels well made. I'd suggest anyone trying to fit this bin off the included screwdriver and get yourself a number 2 Phillips head and an M30 Torx/Stardrive to remove the speedometer entirely as it's much easier to fit this way.

Wanted this to hold either a sat nav or phone in a BMW Mini. The sat nav or phone has to be relatively slim to be confident that it will stay in the jaws. Probably limited to use with the latest phones which are very slim. Good idea though.

Great piece of kit! Very easiy to install, unfortunately I receive the wrong size allen screw bit, it was the wrong size plus wasn't anywhere near long enough (I saw people on Youtube fot this and their bit they received was at pesst twice the length) This meant I couldn't secure one of the 2 screws which screws the rev counter to the steering column. As a standard screwdriver cannot be used once the phone holder is in place. Not sure how this will affect when I go for a drive etc and I will need to purchase a bendy screwdriver or a long allen key to screw in properly and finish the install. Overall amazing product, I have deducted 1 star due to not recieving the correct allen bit which means it's not fully secure. If I had receive the correct installation items, it would be a 5 star easily.

はさむところがもう少しジョイントが固定感出るとよいと思いました 今回同じジョイント部分の固定ができず壊れたので同じ商品を購入 それ以外はデザイン的にもいいと思います

parfait

Support très bien adapté pour une Mini type R56/57. Se fixe en 10 minutes. Bien plus discret qu'un support massif à ventouse par exemple. Très bon maintien du téléphone. Je recommande

Tres bien intégré, si vous ne voulez pas le logo Mini sur le bras prenez le sens inverse de votre volant (ce choix défini juste de quel coté vous voulez le logo) et faite bien attention a ne pas perdre les vis en démontant, sinon il faut démonter aussi la planche en dessous du volant, c'est pas compliqué mais un peu embetant.
