Iphone mount

Any of you mounted your iPhones around the dash area? Currently I have the cable running to the centre compartment between the seats. Was thinking about using a sat nav app and trying to think ov thr best place to mount it without having wires running everywhere.

I didn't replace with anything and I'm happy how it looks. I will post pics up later if I get to wiri...

Im looking at getting a new set of wheels and think I'm going to go for AC Schnitzer Type 3's. I have seen a set of 17" for a fair price and was hoping somebody could post up a photo of a set of 17's on the car. I have seen some guys z's on here with 18's is there much of a difference? Cheers
