I use something very similar. But the one I use doesn't need as large an area for adhesion (so a better chance of working in Mach E). And it allows me to angle the phone towards me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XIAH3PE/
Thanks for the suggestion. I like the magnetic attachments myself. One handed on and off. The problem with the puck is that there is no way to mount that between the steering wheel and the LCD in this car.
I hadn't thought of that. Obviously I don't want to damage the LCD. I should be taking delivery in about 6 weeks so I think I'm going to bookmark this thread. It will be easier to figure out what's going to work once I have the car.
To build on that, I've used the Mountie to attach my phone to a lapdock. I don't see why it wouldn't also work here since it's the same problem/solution...
whatever your reason.... here is what I do in my older vehicles that do not have Navigation display, which I use a lot to get to client addresses...
I hope this same one I use on my wife’s truck will work.OK so I realize with the huge LCD screen, Apple Car Play and the wireless charging pad the first thing everyone will ask is "why do you need a phone mount?". Granted the car has a huge screen and the interface is supposed to be great and I admit I have not gotten my order yet so i haven't tried to work with the built in interface but I have Apple CarPlay on my current car and I never use it because its too dumbed down (too many missing apps and limited accessibility to some features). Unless they have made a dramatic modification I would rather not be stuck using that.
The problem is that the dash leaves very little opportunity to put a phone mount anywhere near the driver. A vent mount would get in the way of the ignition button and the speaker fabric seems to make a dash mount difficult to attach. I'm guessing Ford just figured everyone would use their interface and leave the phone on the wireless charging pad. If anyone has tried to mount a Phone I would be interested in hearing how you did it.
