How to Choose the Right Cell-Phone Mount - ConsumerReports.org

Despite the proliferation of infotainment systems in cars, there are many drivers who still want to use their cell phone as the primary source for navigation and in-car entertainment. And there are strong reasons to do so:

  • An older car can be effectively “upgraded” with a well-placed smartphone that’s used for navigation and digital music.
  • Using a phone can be more convenient than an infotainment system for navigation because it will display the latest maps, along with real-time traffic information and current points of interest. Plus, it’s often easier to search for something on the phone, then get directions (especially when using a digital assistant, such as Siri).
  • Travelers may prefer to use their familiar phone, rather than a built-in system in a rental car, especially when navigation can be an added cost.

No matter the reason, connected drivers need to keep the phone secure, charged, and in their line of sight.

Many newer cars and SUVs have Android Auto and/or Apple CarPlay integration. This software mimics the connected phone and puts common music, mapping, messages, and phone apps directly on the infotainment screen. But a cell phone with a large screen can effectively mimic this feature, giving drivers of older cars much of the same functionality. However, drivers shouldn’t be tempted to use the social media apps on their phone while driving.
