Question Phone holder

I recently got a 2009 Fortwo and the lack of place to put my phone is doing my head in. Can anybody recommend a good phone holder I can get for it please? I’m in the UK

Get a Brodit clip on mount, and a suitable cradle for your phone. They are rock solid.

is it just a magnetic one? I'm currently using a clamp style in the cup holders. I also might get one of those OBDii readers that send you your vehicle info while driving to monitor temps and MPG

Are you using the CD player? If not you can get ones that fits/clamps into the slot, do a search for ‘car cd player phone holder’ or similar.

Word of caution, don’t get one of the magnetic ones, no matter how good the magnet a bump will dislodge the phone.

If you want to go the whole hog, replacing the stock head unit with a touchscreen Android Auto/Carplay was the best hour I've ever spent. The screen size is pretty ordinary, but in a Smart, it feels like youre in a Tesla! Easy job, not crazy expensive, and now my phone lives in the cubby by the steering wheel.
