    Most Audi drivers just use their hands from what I've seen.

    Lol i had an A3 and i just bought the Belkin phone holder that sits in the cup holder.

    Alternatively you can get one of those holders where you have to unscrew the vents to install.

      The vents "pry out" and just click back in - no need for screws. Those holders look good and blends in nicely with the dash.

    time for a new car

    • Alee91 on 02/03/2024 - 23:13

      Yeah, shouldve sold last year or before when prices were high!

    • Alee91 on 02/03/2024 - 23:17

      Main feature to look for would be vents shape

    • Alee91 on 02/03/2024 - 23:16

      With A3? As i am not sure if the distance between vents would be same

    • bobbified on 04/03/2024 - 10:37

      That thing looks like something that could be found in someone's basement. (or 'dungeon', I should say!) 😂

    I got one that fit between the vents…

    Not the exact same one but similar. Mine has a S logo on it so it makes my car go faster :)

      Is length between two vents adjustable? Not sure if all Audis/Merc have same distance between vents

        Mine isn’t so I had to choose one for my specific model.

  • Downvoter on 02/03/2024 - 22:33

    On a side now how is the A3 as I’m considering getting one lol

    • Alee91 on 02/03/2024 - 23:10

      I am pretty satisfied with my cabrio, but i have very low usage though

    • yikes914 on 03/03/2024 - 00:14

      just buy a Golf, its basically the same car anyway

  • blitz on 03/03/2024 - 00:01

    Do you have any cupholders? My phone cradle fits inside a cupholder.

      Cup holder is not infront, its near the gear part, so kind of kills the purpose if i have to look down

  • Subere on 03/03/2024 - 08:25

    I had this same issue with my MB.
    Kept finding those ones between vents (as above) or expensive ones that you have to unscrew the vents and then mount some plate on.
    In the end I just got one that goes in the CD player.

    same issue with merc
    I just found one that fits into the drinks holder
    or those with suction things on windscreens

  • drilly on 03/03/2024 - 11:55

    I've tried many phone holders and nothing beats the ones that stick onto the windscreens. Better positioning too imo.

  • highon2str on 03/03/2024 - 18:28

    If a phone is blocking off an entire AC vent, how will the vent work? Also in winter, won't the vent be blowing hot air at the phone?

    • skillet on 04/03/2024 - 09:05

      Some vents can be shut manually.

      Make sure you do because I know roasted lithium cells don't last very long.

  • bobbified on 04/03/2024 - 09:59

    I've been using this one for the last few years and it's worked very well.

    For my model, the air vents are closer together, so they had this piece of flat plastic that slipped underneath each mount and the magnet was mounted to that. The A3 vents are slightly further apart, so it won't look as "blended in" (but still looks better than most other ones on the market).

    The only thing i don't like having a piece of metal stuck to the back of the phone (for the magnet).
