Hi,
Has anyone found a good cell phone mount for the Emira? The suction-type dash mount one I used in my Ftype doesn’t stay put on in the Emira.

OK, this "Universal Magnetic Phone Holder for Car Display Screen 360 Degree Rotation Strong Magnet Car Mount for iPhone 15 MagSafe Xiaomi" from AliExpress (got it for about $3.5) fit on both sides of the center screen. It has a standard 17mm ball mount, so you should be able to attach a variety of wireless charging devices.
This attaches by "pinching" the screen, and does not use adhesives. Will have to see how it holds up to actual driving with a phone attached to it.
So, I did about a month and a half of driving with this installed, and the rubber strip slipped off. The mount is not strong enough to support a Pixel 7a with case (at least not on the roads driven on).

I will switch to the other one ("front nut" design, which has a larger back plate thingy) and report back in a month or so.

This "17mm Ball Head Car Display Screen Phone Holder Base Bracket Adjustable Mobile Phone Holder Base for Tesla Model 3/Y/S/X" (also from AliExpress) works too. Be sure to select the "Front Nut" version.

No issues mounting on the passenger side. Plenty of clearance because the knob is on the front side.

Also fits on the driver side with no issues.

I think I've bought enough samples. What to do with all those that didn't fit 🤔
This "Front Nut" version has been in my car for a while, and hasn't slipped off (yet). The true challenge is in the summer...

I finally found a mount that truly works, with just one little tweak!!

This mount fits perfectly into our small vents (see pics), and with its fully adjustable design, you can find the perfect angle that works for you. The option could include straight down on the right side of the vent, or like I mounted it here in the pics!

The small tweak I made once I found my optimal position was to use some Loctite Super Glue to firm up the mount. Being fully adjustable, it had some wiggle, which I did not like. Now it's solid!

If you want a different look for the Magnet, here are a few great options that work perfectly with the suggested mount above. I ended up using the first one below, #1
