I always hated the ugly mandatory GPS mount BMW's came with, especially since I wasnt going to add their Garmin unit to it. To mount my phone, originally I had a RAM mount attached to the bar next to the GPS mount. It looked silly.

Then I came across the cheap replacement GPS mount with phone mounts on ebay. For $30 I figured Id try it and see how it went and if it went bad I wasnt out too much.

It didnt come with any instructions, which I pretty much figured anything from China wouldnt, but it was easily figured out. However, I didnt realize there were little nuts on the bottom of the OEM unit that, once unscrewed, would just fall out. So, on the first one, it went into the pit of despair somewhere in the bike. The other thing I liked about this replacement part is that it was supposed to line up with the OEM pins and power up two USB ports. Apparently you need to wire this in to make it work, which didnt make any sense, so I kept the USB on the bike I already had.

Once installed and the phone was in, I realized that the power and volume buttons kept getting squished and either locking my phone or turning the volume all the way down. I ended up using a dremel to cut away some of the plastic on the side for the buttons to be free and it works perfectly now. I still wish the whole thing wasnt so bulky, and might go back to a stem RAM mount in the future, but for now it works.

I would use it in landscape position or use a silicon band for more security when in the portrait position so the phone does not slide out the bottom when hitting a big bump.
