1. Dashboard Mount
Is Dashboard is the best place to mount your mobile phone in your car?
This is a commonly used place where almost everyone likes to mount their smartphones for good reasons. In this position you can easily operate your cell phone such as you can check screen, make a call and answer it, look at the GPS maps.

2. Windshield Mount
You must have seen the windshield mobile holder mounted on car many times, because it is also the most common and favourite place where people like to mount.
These mounts are attached to the windshield via suction-cups / or adhesives and if you do not choose the best holder, this will be a waste of money as they can fall/loose apart through the windshield.
They are affixed to the windshield with the help of adhesive glue, usually do not last forever.

There are two types of places on the windshield where you can mount it: Driver side window and Rear view mirror, the driver side window is the best and safest place where you can mount the holder.
3. Air Vent/CD-Mount
The vent / CD mount is best for those who do not need to keep their devices in their cars at all times. If you mount your cell phone at Vent/CD Mount for temporary purpose then this is for you.
Here you need to make sure that the mount has a joint that allows you to turn your smartphone towards you.
Because it is over the air vent that blocks an actual vent, hot air can be an issue it actually can blast your cell phone if you put it for long time. Note: This is an issue here as there is snow and cold weather 4-5 months a year, so hot air through the vent is very important for us.
But it may not be the issue of a place where the weather is pleasant. Check this If you want to look for best air vent mount, magnetic air vent holder, CD-Mount.
4. Steering Wheel
This is not the appropriate place to mount the cell phone holder; because of the steering wheel it rotates all the time. There is a lot of problem while arriving at GPS location, while making calls, answering and all basic activities.
You should always be conscious about the angle of the cell phone to use it. While driving, it can be dangerous too.
Steering wheel mounts can work for larger vehicles such as trucks because they run on a straight-line road highway or low traffic area.
