Courtesy of IL Motorsport in Germany this mobile phone mount has been developed exclusively for the MX5 Mk4 and comes complete with a universal mount suitable for any mobile phone. Requiring no drilling or gluing, it is an easy installation that takes minutes and will leave no marks once removed. To install read the following steps:- pull lower right side of the dashboard (right beside the centre console) towards you in a short pull, creating a small gap big enough to insert the metal hook supplied with this kit.- insert the metal hook sideways between the lower part of the dashboard and the upper part, next to the shiny black plastic of the centre console vents.- turn the hook 90° and pull to check if hooks snaps into place and holds position correctly- push the lower part of the dashboard back into the original position- position the phone mount over the extending hook on the dashboard and put the supplied nut on the hook part and screw hand tight.- check if the console sits tightly and adjust if necessary- mount the supplied universal phone holder and enjoy!Please Note: The iPhone in the picture is NOT included!!Fits all right hand drive Mk4 & RF models, 2015>

This is slightly expensive but after you have installed it you will not be disappointed. This fits perfectly on the trim of the Mk4 and is positioned next to the infotainment screen

The phone holder is a relatively easy to fit (look for YouTube videos). Though I don't think there is an official video, there are videos of the same product but perhaps with a different manufatcurer name in different countries. Pulling the combing on the dashboard forwards to create the gap is a bit nerve wracking. It works fine though and goes back after inserting the phone holder pin. Make sure to get the position where the pin goes in from the YouTube video. The base fits well and looks good, as others have commented. I attached a wireless MagSafe charger (ESR for Qi2 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger CryoBoost Phone Cooling from Amazon UK) in place of the one that came with the mount and, though the MagSafe plate was initially a bit loose because of a slight difference in the ball joint size, I suspect, I managed it make it more secure by wrapping the excess from the USB cable around the back to kill two birds with one stone. Either USB port will work and I have a wireless dongle from Ottocast (search for '2025 Ottocast A2-Air Pro Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter 15s Auto-Connect' on eBay UK, which was much cheaper than buying direct from Ottocast but was, I believe, still the official Ottocast eBay seller).

As title says, once installed it looks as if it were OEM. Install was easy especially after watching the youtube video produced by the company. The only slight negative is that the actual phone holder does not tighten completely, it still tightens to a point where there is no noticeable movement whilst driving but if you do touch or push the phone it may move it.

After having a vent-mounted phone holder in place for a couple of years and realising that it had dented the dashboard crash pad where it'd been resting on it, I replaced with dash pad with alcantara and, at the same time installed this. It is brilliant and well worth the money as you can get an exceptionally neat install once you realise that the ball and socket has what seems to be the standard 16mm ball on it. So, you can pull the ugly phone holder section off and replace it with a more aesthetic or functional holder from Amazon. I have a flat magnetic-mount face plate on mine, and a metal sticker inside my phone case. Rock solid and, if you position the sticker right, you can slide the phone up so the top is more or less aligned with the top of the infotainment display. Very neat. Well worth it.

Fitting was easy and the build quality seems good with one exception. The cradle is slightly different from the image on the site and there is plenty of space to plug in the charging cable. Disappointed that the holder droops after driving for a while. The weight of the phone seems to be too much for the ball joint that holds the cradle even though it's fully tightened. I will try putting a thin fabric over the ball joint to see if the friction can be improved.
