Well, after close to 10 years of trying to find a location to keep my phone from flying around or being in view so I can see who is calling. I finally broke down and bought a new phone carrier for my iPhone (3G-s 32 Gig).
After some searching and no responses to my questions....
I purchased the ProClip holder for my Tacoma.
http://www.proclipusa.com/You have to purchase two parts, the dash mount and the phone holder.
Cost was on the high side for this type of holder.
ProClip Center Mount (852253) = $ 30
ProClip Adjustable Holder with Pass-through Connector (516042) = $ 80
Grand total of $110... yep that much.
And you still have to put it together with (5) screws.
Here is the photo from their site:
Here are mine with my iPhone next to it.

Mount of the Center Dash holder was easy.
Remove the backing from the tape and snap into place.
I made sure it was fairly centered, so the air will flow easy.
In the photo you will see the base for the phone mount. That is held by (4) screws.
Below is the main phone holder being screwed into the base.
One screw is used.
ALL DONE.
Phone in place.
Vertical mode.
Horizontal mode.
My favorite iPhone app - its a GPS enabled compass and clinometer.
Now you may be asking why did you spend $110 for just a phone holder.
Well, i wanted to be use my iPhone as an mps and use the mount to hook up to my Alpine. When I tried to plug in the phone... no tunes and the battery was not getting charged?!?!?
So I took the mount off to investigate and this is what I saw.
Due to my OtterBox's plastic shell, there connector will not sit flush to the ProClip - with out some modification. :saw:
So i do plan to modify it to make it work.
Oh BTW, my cell phone does work with the ProClip, with out my monster OtterBox case.
I am also sure it would work with thinner cases.
I will post up the mod, when I get a chance to work on it.
