I have seen some older threads about phone holders. Anyone have any more recent suggestions - I would to have the phone on display to me rather than in the cup holder sideways at the moment.

Also, anyone seen any decent gadgets to use in the cigarette lighter socket? I could do with a powerful phone charger but theres some proper interesting ones too with lights / readouts / displays on. Wondered if any of you have anything gucci like this in your jag!?

I just have a voltage meter that plugs into the socket. Cheap and useful.

I use this phone holder, keeps my phone at just the right angle and isn’t in the way. It also has loads of adjustment so when I change my phone I won’t need a new holder. It is lined so won’t damage the leather. Came from an individual on Facebook called George Hutchinson I think, who 3D printed them. He does newer ones now with magnetic holders which look a bit cleaner when you don’t have a phone on the mount.

Without looking tacky when the phone is removed try a SCOSCHE. Sticks like muck to a blanket and doesn't look out of place or tacky like most phone holders do.

I use the above to hold my second (phone) dashboard readout for important stuff: car oil level & temp, charge cooler temp, diff oil temp etc etc.

I've got one of these in my other car, works well if you need more than one USB or 12 volt outlet.

Got this in mine but no idea who makes or supplies it.
Was in the car when I bought it.
Works well though.

I use the Torque Pro App full version. That's combined with and OBDLink Bluetooth version.

With custom PID's it gives pretty much all data that the ECU sees...battery voltage on the Can bus as well as other voltages are available if that's what you need.

At the moment my phone is used exclusively to display similar to this:

It depends if your phone is an iPhone/has magsafe but I've been pleased with this one that just "clips" onto a vent. No adhesives/marks etc and easy to just remove if you don't want it blocking the vent.
I have mine on the right-side drivers vent in-line with the dashboard
