Here at Scottish Water, you can only answer a call with hands free (No outgoing calls unless an emergency) and all managers etc are told not to make calls to vehicles unless really required.

that's utilities for you. One of my prospects was EDF, and I phoned my contact from my car, on hands free, but soon as he detected I was in the car he said he'd have to hang up as they are "not allowed to talk to anyone on a car phone, no matter how connected". Had to call him back when out of the car. So I was forced to stop for a coffee and cake.
Health and safety, apparently - they're incredibly paranoid about accident rates and causes, whether their own people or contractors.

Same as us we aren't allowed to speak to people if they are on phone while driving.
now we know why obesity is such a problem.
anytime someone in a car needs to talk to someone like a utility or Network Rail he has to stop for coffee and cake.
sometimes I'm in a real rush and can't wait for the coffee to cool, so it's just cake or a special offer of chocolate in the filling station.....

Does anyone have any experience of removing this type of mount? My car is on a company lease and will need to be standard when returned, so removal is important.
As for debadging. Make sure car is warm in the sun, use nylon string or similar and saw through the glue, clean up with a suitable solvent
got any pictures of it in action (and not in action) fitted on the leon vents? tempted but from previous experience with vent mounts they either restrict airflow too much or are not very secure and wobble about a fair bit
I use this one:

I like the look of that airframe one though. Might check that out.

Where did you get your current holder from Scott? Could do with one rather than putting my phone in the cup holders. Yours looks a bit like a headless stickman

You can order it direct from the link I posted above, but I think I got mine from Amazon at the time. It's great as you can angle it as well so I have the phone turned towards me. Was on Dragons Den many years ago.

Cheers Scott found them on Amazon

Cool. Double check the reviews as when I ordered mine there were reports of unofficial knock offs circulating. We've got two and they have been solid for years.
Scott
Ok great cheers for the heads up Scott,that's the trouble these days so many fake products everywhere

I never used the sticky pads when fitting mine.
I replaced the top sticky pad with a thin piece of rubber and it has held perfectly without moving.
The bottom hooks in to the dash so the pad is not needed anyhow.
When I take it off you will not know it was ever there
That's good to know, thank you.
I'm wondering if it's really needed now as most of the functions I want can be accessed via the media system. As I get more familiar with the car's functions the less I think I need access to my phone. Now I know more about the music I'll probably copy it all to an SD card then that side of it is not needed on the phone and the rest of the phone is just phone...
If there is something that needs me to mess with the phone, I really should pull over!
the actual phone bit through the media system works really well - what some find is that the satnav isn't as good as a TomTom or garmin system...or maybe the WAZE app, so they use the phone as a nav system instead.
As I don't, and my music was all on CDs or the laptop as MP3 files, I just got a 32GB SD card and use the media system for everything.
And I'm very happy with that...

I only really use it as a phone holder and charger.
I have attached a brodit active cradle to my bracket so it charges the phone when driving.
And as andrewpain says - occasionally - the phone navigation is better than the car one.
He! He! As I have neither Tomtom or Garmin, having any kind of Sat-Nav is a major bonus. So as I know no better, I'm really happy with it. The music will go on an SD card. Sorted.
Thanks for all the input folks, I'm liking this forum a lot.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
